So, I’m working away on this pinwheel blanket using some Noro Transitions yarn that has been whining at me for almost 2 years since I bought it. I’ve finally knit through all the Noro (after breaking the longest cable I had, and having to buy 3 32 inch needle to knit the last 3 rows).

Now I’m working on a plan for an edging, and I picked out the “Scalloped Leaves” pattern from Knitting on the Edge and some other yarn that’s been in my stash since Stitches 2007. Anyway, I was working on a swatch to see the ratio of rows to stitches to see if I a) have enough yarn and b) have enough patience to do this edging, but I got stuck on just the 2nd row of the pattern because of errata.

In any case, I’ve worked out the correct pattern (as well as a few changes I made to make the pattern cleaner in the way I like), and hopefully I’m not breaking any copyright laws by posting it here. Go get the book! It’s really great and totally inspiring for all sorts of patterns. Changes are in BOLD.


Cast on 8 stitches
Row 1 (RS) : k5, yo, k1, yo, k2
Row 2 : p6, inc 1, k4
Row 3 : k4, p1, k2, yo, k1, yo, k3
Row 4 : p8, inc 1, k5
Row 5 : k4, p2, k3, yo, k1, yo, k4
Row 6 : p10, inc 1, k6
Row 7 : k4, p3, k4, yo, k1, yo, k5
Row 8 : p12, inc 1, k7 - 20 stitches
Row 9 : k4, p4, ssk, k7, k2tog, k1
Row 10 : p10, inc 1, k8
Row 11 : k4, p5, ssk, k5, k2tog, k1
Row 12 : p8, inc 1, k3, p1, k5
Row 13 : k4, p1, s1wyib, p4, ssk, k5, k2tog, k1
Row 14 : p6, inc 1, k4, p1, k5
Row 15 : k4, p1, s1wyib, p5, ssk, k3, k2tog, k1
Row 16 : p4, inc 1, k5, p1, k5
Row 17 : k4, p1, s1wyib, p6, slip 1 - k2 - pass slipped stitch over, k1
Row 18 : p2tog, bind off this stitch and 4 stitches more , p3, k4 - 8 stitches

Repeat rows 1 to 18 until desired length. Bind off.

I don’t have pictures now, but I’ll include some as soon as I get enough knit that it makes sense to take pictures….now I just hope that I have enough yarn to make 65 leaves to edge the blanket. :)

  1. If the rest looks as good as this does, all your hard work will have paid off.

    thanks for the correction on the scalloped leaves pattern - it was driving me crazy that it was wrong and i was too lazy to spend the time to figure out the right way. i’m going to go swatch it this minute!

  3. I hope you have pictures of your blanket. I’ve knitted a “Warm Up America” throw for my granddaughter (because it’s easy and fast) but now I think it is too plain. I need a scalloped edge around it. Do you think this pattern will work.
