Night Moves

This document provides instructions for making a fingering-weight yarn scarf called "Night Moves". The scarf is worked back and forth in rows using increases and shell stitch patterns to create a sawtooth bottom edge. Every 4 rows, the last shell stitch is left unworked to define the points of the sawtooth pattern. A single skein is enough yarn to make a generously sized scarf following the provided multi-row repeating pattern.

Night Moves

This scarf is inspired by my Movie Night shawl, modified to make it


narrower and more scarf-like, as well as to give it a saw-toothed
edge. This design works up quickly and makes a very generously-
sized scarf with a single skein of fingering weight yarn.

Materials:
• Fingering weight yarn (approx. 450 yards)
• H hook (5mm)
• Yarn needle

Special Stitches/Terminology:
Shell: (2dc, ch1, 2dc) all worked into the indicated ch sp
Inc Shell: (2dc, ch1, 2dc, ch1, 2dc) all worked into the
indicated ch sp
Shell in Shell: work a Shell into the ch sp of the Shell from the
previous row
Inc Shell in Shell: work an Inc Shell into the ch sp of the Shell from the previous row

This shawl is worked in back-and-forth rows, so remember to turn after every row. I also start with a
Magic Ring (MR), but if you don’t like to use the MR, you may ch3 or ch4 and join into a ring.

Begin with MR

Row 1: ch2, Shell in MR


Row 2: ch2, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 3: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell
Row 4: ch2, Shell in Shell, ch1, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 5: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell (leave last Shell of row
unworked)
Row 6: ch2, Shell in Shell, ch1, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 7: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in Shell
Row 8: ch2, (Shell in Shell, ch1) x2, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 9: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in Shell (leave
last Shell of row unworked)
Row 10: ch2, (Shell in Shell, ch1) x2, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 11: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell, (ch1, Shell in Shell) x2
Row 12: ch2, (Shell in Shell, ch1) x3, Inc Shell in Shell
Row 13: ch2, Shell in 1st ch st of Inc Shell, ch1, Shell in 2nd ch sp of Inc Shell, (ch1, Shell in Shell) x2
(leave last Shell of row unworked)

Continue on in this manner until your scarf is of the desired length, making sure to end on a row that is a
multiple of 4, before that row that leaves the last shell unworked. Weave in ends and block. NOTE:
Every row where you leave the last Shell unworked will have one Shell more than the previous row that
left the last Shell unworked.
This pattern is similar to my Movie Night Shawl, except you leave the last Shell unworked every 4th row,
so your sawtooth edge (bottom edge) will have four rows of Shells per “tooth.” The top edge of the
shawl is the side that the Inc Shells are worked into.

Look upon my crudely-drawn chart and despair!

The word “shell” officially no longer looks like a word, especially when capitalized.
