The edge ribbing is worked looser though. PATTERN NOTES C2B: Work as if to K2tog but don't pull the original stitches off of the left needle. Re-insert the right needle into the right stitch of the k2tog and knit this stitch, and then pull both of the original stitches off the needle.

DIRECTIONS CO 6 sts using 4,5mm needles Row 1: [WS] Purl Row 2: [RS] K1, M1, knit to 1 st before end, M1, K1 Repeat these two rows until there are 22 sts Purl 1 row Work the Mimosa chart. Shown here are the RS rows, all WS row are purled.

After the Mimosa chart is completed continue in stockinette until the piece measures 50 cm from the beg. Start decreasing: Row 1: [RS] K1, skp, knit to 3 sts before end, K2tog, K1 Row 2: [WS] Purl Repeat these two rows until there are 6 sts left BO all sts but do not cut the yarn. Leave the last st on the needle and start the cabled rib edging Using the long circular needle pick up sts along the sides and the round edges. Work in round. When you come to the first rounded end on the first round of the cabled rib you need to increase sts: [K1, K1f&b, P1] so that the increased sts are purl stiches on the second round. Do the same on the other end of the scarf. I had 280 all together in my edging. Work 13 rounds of the cabled rib. BO all sts loosely. Weave in ends.
