Knitting with Koigu’s new yarn, Mori is one of the nicest knitting experiences I’ve had in awhile. It feels so good sliding through my fingers and the knitted fabric is soft and light. As I knit, I keep coming up with new ideas of what to do with it.
But for now, it’s this simple scarf. This photo’s from a few days ago; the scarf’s much longer now. I’m using 2 colors – numbers 6 and 14 – and a simple drop stitch pattern. It goes like this:
Cast on 36 stitches with Color A (in my case, number 6).
Rows 1 and 2 – Knit 2 rows with Color A.
Row 3 – Join Color B, *k1, yo* to last stitch, k1.
Row 4 – With Color B, *p1, drop yo* to last stitch, p1.
Repeat those 4 rows.
You don’t need to cut and rejoin the yarn as you change colors, just carry them up the side. Work until Color B is used or your scarf has reached the desired length. Work Row 1 and bind off.
The Mori Yarn is now available on the website. Enjoy!

Very nice. I was fondling this yarn when I was in the shop last, it was oh so yummy!
Beautiful – what size needle did you use?
If Koigu was on the ballot I would vote for it.
