Yet Another Short-Row Scarf

There are quite a number scarf patterns available on Ravelry, that use wedges of short rows. However, I was too lazy to search through them - so I just started knitting.

Here's what I came up with - an easy scarf pattern.

Techniques:

• w+t = wrap and turn, e.g. shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4GxFvi4KD0
• how to pick up the wraps is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xaz41JTkLc

I used one skein (200 grams) of (probably) super bulky yarn and 8mm needles.

CO21 sts
Row 1: k
Row 2: k to 3 sts before end of row w+t
Row 3: k to end
Row 4: k to 3 sts before gap w+t (where gap is the last w+t)
Row 5: k to end
Repeat rows 4 and 5 until there are only 3 stitches per row
Row 14: knit all picking up the wrapped stitches
You have now completed the first wedge.

The picture shows how the wedges add up to a scarf. Since one wedge consists of 13 rows (i.e. an odd number of rows), each wedge starts at the opposite edge of the previous one.

Repeat rows 2 to 14 until you reach the desired length.
Bind off in the row 14 of last wedge picking up the wrapped stitches.

This pattern is listed on allfreeknitting.com as Unicorn Horn Scarf.
