Lacy Hitchhiker

By -
Eyelet lace Hitchhiker scarf
April 2016
After finishing the Sakura scarf, I decided to knit another Hitchhiker scarf but with eyelet lace every repeat. On the eighth row of the pattern, I bound off as the pattern requires, and then K2tog, YO until the last two stitches, K1, Kfb.

Pattern:
    Hitchhiker by Martina Behm (Ravelry link) - see eyelet adaptation above

 Yarn: 
    Cascade Yarn - Sock Yarn - Heritage 150 Paints (color# 9961)
    150 grams - 492 yards

 Needles:
    US size 6

Since there is more yardage in this skein, the scarf will undoubtedly be longer than the Sakura scarf.

    The yarn you are using is working up just beautifully Nancy.

    This is a nice variation of the original. I think I might even prefer it with eyelets.

    Oooo I love the color!! It's sort of a mink, at least in the picture. Very pretty.

    Soooo Pretty! I love the Heritage Sock yarn. I've used it several times and you're right - there's a lot of mileage per skein! I've never made the Hitchhiker scarf, but I love the idea of making it lacey. I saw a pattern on Ravelry where someone had taken each section of it and made a different lace pattern. One of these days . . . . . .

    I read LACY as L-A-Z-Y and wondered why your Hitchhiker was LAZY! LOL

    It's looking great!

    It's lovely! I am a fan of the hitchhiker already, but these detail with the yarn you are using, is really a winning combination!
