LSU Illusion Scarf

CO 33 stitches.
Work seed stitch for 5 rows.
Seed stitch- R1- K1, P1, repeat.
R2- Repeat row 1.
*Work 5st seed stitch at beginning and end of each row while working the chart. I like to slip the first
stitch of each row for a nice edge.

Begin Chart.

Each line of the chart is 4 rows of knitting ( 2 rows of each color )

Scarf Row 1: *Knit 23 stitches in Color 1.
◦Scarf Row 2: Make the next row of stitches, continuing with Color 1, but this time following the
pattern (the first or bottom row in the pattern). Knit one stitch for every white square, and purl one
stitch for every black square.
Scarf Row 3: Knit in Color 2 for the next row. After knitting the first few stitches of Color 2, you can tie
its loose end to the lead line of Color 1. However, do not cut the yarn.
Scarf Row 4: Make the next row of stitches, continuing with Color 2, but this time follow the pattern
(still looking at the first row) in the opposite way as you did before. Instead of knitting the white
squares and purling the black squares, do the reverse: Purl a stitch for every white square and knit a
stitch for every black square. Read the pattern from left to right.
Scarf Row 5: Bring Color 1 (remaining from Scarf Row 2) behind the needle as shown and knit 23
stitches across.
Scarf Row 6: Knit on the white pattern blocks, purl on the black pattern blocks, referring to Pattern
Row 2.
Scarf Row 7: Switch to Color 2 and knit across.
Scarf Row 8: Purl on the white pattern blocks, knit on the black pattern blocks, referring to Pattern
Row 2.
Scarf Row 9: Bring Color 1 (remaining from Scarf Row 6) behind the needle and knit 23 stitches
across.
Scarf Row 10: Knit on the white pattern blocks, purl on the black pattern blocks, referring to Pattern
Row 3.
Scarf Row 11: Switch to Color 2 and knit across.
Scarf Row 12: Purl on the white pattern blocks, knit on the black pattern blocks, referring to Pattern

 Row 3.
Continue using this method for each row in the chart. Repeat the chart the desired number of times.
When you are halfway through the scarf, you can work the pattern upside down so the design is
always facing the right way.
When the scarf has reached the desired length work 5 rows in seed stitch. Cast off.
