      The repeated portion is 14 stitches in both the number of stitches it uses and the number it results in.
      Number used – (1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 0, 2) = 14
      Number resulting – (1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2) = 14
      Three repeats of the 14 plus the three extra stitches makes the 45 of the row.

      Are you purling 3 stitches together? I could see having three extra at the end if you were purling 2 together.

      • Anne MasonJune 26, 2013 at 3:05 pm

        I agree with Mama’s count of 14 as the repeat. I am going to make the scraf as a Christmas gift.

    • Francine FreemanOctober 28, 2016 at 9:54 am

      I agree Row 2 has an issue

  4. JoanDecember 2, 2012 at 9:28 pm

    I don’t think this is what I am looking for, but I am going to try it The afghan pattern forms actual pleats. Thank you anyway. Joan

  5. LindaJune 25, 2013 at 7:32 pm

    I love the pattern for a scarf. Is there anyway a person could make this into an afghan?

    Thank you…..

      Absolutely! The original scarf is 8 inches wide. For every 8 inches of additional width you want, add 42 stitches to your cast on.

  6. WinnieJune 25, 2013 at 10:05 pm

    I can’t wait to try this pattern — seems superb — hope I get it like the pattern shows — unfortunately I am left handed – so when I am “making a stitch” it will be the opposite for me — ‘left hand needle’ — but I will get it — I have ‘made a stitch’ in a pattern many times — thanks very much —

  7. KathleenJune 26, 2013 at 10:26 am

    I love this pattern and would like to make this for my grandaughter using naturally caron spa bamboo blend, #3 weight. Would that work? I am just getting back into knitting after many years away.

  8. JoanneJune 26, 2013 at 6:47 pm

    I just finished reading a biography about Marie Antoinnette and I can’t wait to make this besutiful scarf.Thanks

  9. MarilynJune 28, 2013 at 5:16 am

    I have added a stitch when knitting, is m1 the same? I don’t ever recall seeing this stitch in a pattern before. Just reading it doesn’t seem to create a picture of how to do in my head. Does anyone know of a place you can go to see how this is done? Thanks.

  10. patti rothJune 30, 2013 at 7:13 pm

    Thanks ever so much for inspiration!

  11. SherrieJuly 13, 2013 at 10:10 am

    This is a beautiful pattern. I am making it in a DK weight on #7 needles. It is a shorter scarf that fits nicely inside of a coat collar. I am making it 36″ long with 3 50 gram balls of yarn.

  12. Janis FrostAugust 2, 2014 at 11:51 pm

    I love this and making a scarf with Murano wool fromhttp://www.bendigowoollenmills.com.au/Product/tabid/55/2328/2328/211164/MURANO/Default.aspx So it will change colour up through the pattern. It is a beautiful pattern, thank you. The manufacturer recommends 4mm needles and you recommended size 5 mm and since I didn’t have those I decided to use size 5.5 and so far it is looking great.

    I used to knit a cardigan with beautiful collar by using the same colour, same pattern before following a famous brand pattern sheet. However, I have lost this pattern sheet already. Do you have one or have you knit a cardigan by using this pattern ? If yes, please kindly share with me so that I can pick up my memories.

  14. connieOctober 25, 2014 at 10:24 am

    This probably sounds silly, but where it says “three times” do you repeat what is in parenthesis three times or what follows the statement “three times”
    Thank you!

  15. JanetDecember 5, 2014 at 9:04 pm

    Why am I having a problem with Row 6? I ended up without enough stitches & when I count the number of stitches in the row I keep coming out with 42 from the written pattern? Any advice? Thanks

  16. JanetDecember 5, 2014 at 9:07 pm

    Sorry, I must have done something wrong. My math leaves something to be desired!! Think I got it now!

  17. AnnieDecember 30, 2016 at 9:42 am

    I am making this scrap and like it very much

  18. SusanJanuary 3, 2017 at 2:25 pm

    I made this scarf. It turned out lovely. It is not hard, but has enough style in the stitches to keep it interesting. Thank you!

  19. Mary Ann ThibodeauJanuary 4, 2017 at 7:05 pm

    I want to knit this scarf, however, row 3 is missing in your directions. Could you be so kind as to email me row 3. Thanks so much.

    Mary Ann
    It’s so pretty.

    • MamaJanuary 9, 2017 at 2:44 pm

      Row 1 and all odd rows: (k1, p1, k1, p11) three times, k1, p1, k1

      So row 3, 5, 7, etc will all be the same as Row 1.

  20. Carolyn AmadorJanuary 6, 2018 at 12:56 pm

    Hello. I think I’m correct in noting that this was originally published in 2012? So as it is 2018 that I am GOING-TO-GET this (even if it kills me!) I was wondering has there been any corrections or additions to the original pattern? I have been having such a time getting this going, but the problem is not the pattern, it’s my brain, I keep finding steps that I left out and such… Anyway, I just wanted to make sure there’s nothing that I need to add or leave out before I once again, get going good and then need to tink back or restart. 🙂 Thank you!

    Bonjour,

    I do not know if you have what I am looking for. I am looking for a christmas knitted star

    Thanking for the attention to my question

  22. Rosalie MartindaleJune 6, 2018 at 1:25 pm

    I just finished casting off with Row 1 as per instructions and it comes out straight instead with a dip as at the beginning. I am using acrylic and have not blocked it yet. Have I did something wrong or does it come out different then beginning. Thank for your reply

    • MamaJune 13, 2018 at 3:04 pm

      The cast off edge will have a slight ripple but may not be as large as the beginning edge.

  23. MarthaKNovember 30, 2018 at 4:41 pm

    Which is the Right Side?

  24. Kelly J ChampionNovember 10, 2021 at 2:42 pm

    Only 260 yds to make this scarf? Doesn’t seem like enough.

  25. Kelly J ChampionNovember 10, 2021 at 2:44 pm

    Only 1 skein of yarn (260 yds) to make this scarf? Doesn’t seem like enough.

  26. charlene breitnerJanuary 20, 2022 at 8:05 am

    It is wonderful to be able to have an ongoing conversation with the artist. Thank You

  27. janJuly 16, 2023 at 1:27 pm

    Its been a long time since i knitted. I feel kind of like a beginner even those i have completed 4 sweaters and one afagan and several scarfs, But that was 20 years ago and i have never used the m1 stitch. Is this something i could do?
