A tutorial on how to knit a knot stitch over 3 sts. This stitch is featured in Free Extra Warm Man's Scarf pattern Extra Warm Men's Scarf is a thick scarf featuring all over knot stitches. The knot stitches are worked over multiple of 3 sts plus 1 and there are 1 slipped selvage stitches on either sides (making the overall repeat as multiple of 3 sts). Knit loosely throughout as it will make it easier for you to work on p3tog to make the knot stitch. Depending on the kind of yarn you use there many be a gap between the knots. You can minimize this by either using the yarn which are squishy or use smaller needles to work the stitches. The patterns are worked over 6 rows and knots are made on every WS row: Row 1 and every alternate row (RS): Sl 1, k to end. Row 2 (WS): Sl1, *MK; rep from * to last 2 sts, p2. Row 4: Sl 1, p1, *MK; rep from * to last st, p1. Row 6: Sl 1, p2, *MK; rep from * to last 3 sts, p3. These 6 rows form patt. Repeat these 6 rows until the scarf measures approx. 175 cm ending with a WS row. Needles used in this tutorial: Clover bamboo 4mm Yarn used: New Lanark 100% pure new Aran wool Donegal Silk Tweed (Ochre)
