Wavy-Wavy Scarf Pattern

please refer to my Wavy-Wavy Scarf Pattern for beginners for tips and hints to successfully knit my Wavy Wiper Pattern into a scarf.

pick needles after making a sample with your yarn.
co 15 sts. start with a 16-20 in. long tail.
when working the next row.
knit 2 sts. then knit 6 sts. holding yarn plus tail.
now drop tail. move tail to front of work. and continue as directed.
k1inc.1 = kfb = knit in front and back of stitch.

increase Row 1. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (16)
increase Row 2. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (17)
increase Row 3. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (18)
increase Row 4. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (19)
increase Row 5. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (20)
increase Row 6. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (21)
increase Row 7. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (22)
increase Row 8. knit until last 2 sts. k1inc.1. k1. (stitch count now is 23)
you have now completed half a wave.

decrease Row 1. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (22)
decrease Row 2. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (21)
decrease Row 3. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (20)
decrease Row 4. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (19)
decrease Row 5. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (18)
decrease Row 6. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (17)
decrease Row 7. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (16)
decrease Row 8. knit until last 3 sts. k2tog. k1. (stitch count is back to 15)
you have now completed a whole wave.

repeat increase Row 1. thru 8. and decrease Row 1. thru 8. until you have reached your desired length and/or only have enough yarn left to make one more repeat.

repeat increase Row 1. thru 8. and decrease Row 1. thru 7.
you should have 16 sts. on your needle.

when working last row. the row with your last k2tog.
you will also be binding off purlwise.
(another way of saying this is. when working this last row.
bind off purlwise until last 3 sts. p2tog. bind off last 2 sts. purlwise.)

weave in ends.
