Drop Stitch Scarf

My boyfriend's mom made me this wonderful scarf and hat set. The scarf was knit lengthwise with Sierra Nevada by Trendsetter. Now... I've always wanted to make a lengthwise, drop stitch scarf, and I had been grueling over what to make out of that yarn... but I hadn't thought of putting the two together, genius! Anyways, I loved that scarf so much I had to make another one, and here is the pattern:

You're going to need: a size 13 circular needle, 29" or longer

110 of bulky weight yarn (110 yds. was just enough yarn)

Optional: 110 yards light weight mohair (using 1 strand), or 220 yds. lace weight mohair (using 2 strands)

I held my Sierra Nevada together with 2 strands of lace weight mohair to add more black.

Cast on 100 stitches, loosely.

*Knit 3 rows

(K1, YO) to last st, K1

(K1, drop YO off needle) to last st, K1*

repeat these rows two more times.

Knit 3 rows.

Bind off VERY loosely and weave in ends. I recommend binding off using a larger needle.
