I thought the Ruffled Ascot pattern could use a little sprucing up.  I found some pretty awesomely yummy yarn in my stash.  I used The Sanguine Gryphon Bugga for the body of the scarf and Habu Textiles Silk Stainless for the Ruffles.  I knit the body of the scarf as the pattern directs but made modifications when I got to the ruffle.

The modifications are as follows:

After removing waste yarn and placing all live sts onto needle use any fingering or lace weight yarn in a dark color (or any color that matches your ruffle yarn) knit 6 rows. Bind off all sts.

***With the RS facing and using two strands of Habu Silk Stainless pick up and knit 41 sts from the garter ridges closest to the body of the scarf.

Row 1 (WS): Purl.

Row 2 (RS): K1, *yo, k3; repeat from * to last st, yo, k1.

Row 2: Purl.

Row 3: Knit.

Row 4: Purl.

Row 5: K1, *yo, k3; repeat from * to last st, yo, k1.

Row 6: Purl.

Bind off pattern: Bind off one stitch.  *Place stitch from right hand needle back onto left hand needle.  Cast on one stitch using the knit cast on method.  Bind off 2 sts.  Repeat from * until all sts have been bound off.***

Repeat from *** to *** for every other garter ridge in the right side of the work.  Work the same set of ruffle instructions for the other edge.

Enjoy!
