A work in progress, only about 1/4 done, made to go with the Lemon Curd Slouch and the mittens.
Poor picture quality…. too lazy to set up a nice picture!

P.S. All of you who are wondering where the pattern from the mittens came from, THIS IS THE LINK TO THE MITTENS, unfortunately it’s not my pattern (I only say unfortunately because it’s a gorgeous pattern and I think the writer did a phenomenal job on these mittens, they’re absolutely beautiful!) and also I get asked about once a day where this pattern came from, so CLICK ON THIS LINK and it’ll take you to Subliminal Rabbit’s blog where she has graciously offered the pattern for free!

Looks great!
is row 5 supposed to be “P3, CF3*, P2, K5, P1, K6, P1, K5, P2, CF3, P3?”
Faye- Sorry about that. The pattern should be fixed now. P3, CF3*, P2, K5, P1, K6, P1, K5, P2, CF3, P3 is correct.
What does “CF” mean on row five?
It means put three stitches onto a cable needle, hold to the front of your work, knit the next 3 stitches and then knit the 3 stitches from your cable needle. There are Youtube video’s that show how to do it if you need any more help!! that’s how I learned most of the stuff I know!
Your patterns are refreshing & lovely, thank-you for sharing them! I’ve downloaded several over the past couple of weeks from Knitting Pattern Central’s site, the ones I check out always lead to your site! Keep on knitting!
Awesome hat pattern, I can’t wait to knit it up!

where can I find the lemon curd mitten pattern?
Looks like this would be a great set to knit.
I am also looking for the lemon curd mitten pattern, and agree with Nancy that this would be a great set to knit. Love the slouch and scarf.
Thank you for GIVING us the lovely patterns! Virginia

what size cable needle do you use on the lemon curd scarf
Thank you
Marlene
Marlene, I don’t use a different size cable needle. I just use a standard one for all cables.
Loved the hat and scarf. Where do I find the pattern for the mittens?
Thanks for the reply Ali – but I don’t know what a standard size cable needle is. Sorry just starting out with cables. Sorry to be such a pest about it.
Marlene- no worries. If you go to a craft store, or any knitting store, basically anywhere that sells yarn or needles and just ask them for a cable needle they should be able to help you out. I’ve only ever seen one size of them, so it shouldn’t be hard for them to track one down for you. It looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cable_needle.jpg
If you don’t want to have to go buy a cable needle you can always bend a paperclip or something into that basic shape and use that. In a pinch I’ve used wire, or even a small double pointed needle.
Thank you Ali – I do have a double pointed needle I can use. But my mom always had different sizes of cable needles – I would guess they make a bigger or smaller cable. But I like your idea.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Marlene
I don’t seem to be able to knit this. Looks nothing like picture. Mine has no cable down the center, but cables on both sides. Looked at the directions and don’t see anything to show cable in center. What am I doing wrong
Hi,
Rows 1 & 2 add up to 40 stitches. Row 5 adds up to 34 stitches and Row 9 adds up to 31 stitches. How does that work? I’m a beginner and this doesn’t work for me. What am I missing?……………..Lynda J from the Oregon Coast
Thank you for sharing your patterns, pictures and your beautiful son!

This was a fun pattern. I made it last year. I should make another one.
Just curious, is the scarf reversible?
Unfortunately it’s not. Sorry!
I have finished approx 18 inches of the scarf and it seems to be rolling together which is frustrating me. Do you have any suggestions?
It will curl until you block it. If you did not use a natural fiber (wool, etc) it will probably stay curled. If you are ok with un-doing it and starting over you could always make the last 2 stitches on either side into stockinette stitch and that should take care of the curling issue. Good luck!
I am anxious to make this scarf pattern but nothing in the instructions suggest a beginning and ending border. I would think three rows of garder stitch pattern would be appropriate. If not, than perhaps some tassels would enhance the appearance. I am an experienced, and avid knitter but not clever enough to design patterns. Look forward to your reply. Thank you kindly.
Terrie,
I didn’t do any sort of border, but a few rows of garter stitch would probably look just great!
