Snow and knitting go together

It snowed most of the weekend, so I spent lots of time knitting.





So I designed and knitted a scarf using:
Herringbone lace pattern (multiple of 6 stitches)


For scarf, I used 30 stitches and fine yarn, but any multiple of 6 and yarn could be used.

All Odd number rows: Purl all stitches (wrong side)

Row 2, 4, and 6: *knit 2 together, Knit 2, yarn over, knit 2 – repeat from * to end

Row 8, 10, and 12: knit 3, *yarn over, Knit 2, knit 2 together, knit 2 – repeat from * until last 3 stitches. End with yarn over, knit 2 together, knit 1

Starting with row 1, repeat these 12 rows until length desired.


So now what do I knit?
