       Drop stitches, fake seams and the full pattern, good luck!

Peapack Pattern

            CO 42 STS

            Knit 50" in in garter stitch

            At the last row, shift 18 st back to the second needle and drop the 19th st.  Transfer 4 sts and drop the 24th st.

            Pick up the remaining and you’ll have all sts on one needle

            Use a crochet needle of appropriate size and begin to undo all of the stitches but the last. Leave that one on; otherwise you end up with a wavy loose end. (Oh no!)

            Just like you see in the first image up top, "A"

            Now, insert a larger crochet needle into that first stitch and pull the next three through, continue until the last stitch, putting it back on the needle

            Repeat for the other dropped stitch

            Just like you see in the second image up top, "B"

            Drop the middle 2 stitches all the way to the bottom

            To bind off , use an elastic bind off.  Knit your first stitch and then the second, but leave the second stitch on the LH needle as you pass the first stitch over the second. Now take the rest of the second stitch off of the LH needle

            Cont until the dropped middle

            Measure 4 times the width of the remaining edge and cut yarn

            Pull the strand of yarn through the last loop, tying it off

            Leave enough slack to match the dropped row and begin BO again with the next stitch.

            Pull the strand through the last stitch.

            Weave in your yarn ends

            Because the scarf is made with mercerized cotton and is very slick, Karli at Gauge suggested I sew the loose ends to a stitch to prevent the slick surface to slip and come undone. 

            You simply pull the thread through a stitch and the end and tie a knot.

            Trim all ends and you are done!
