Yet Another Terrific Slotted Knit Scarf

By Ann McManus Copyright Dec. 2005

I used about 3 ounces of worsted weight yarn. Using a size 10 (US) circular needle (it's getting quite a workout, no?) cast on 142 stitches. Do not join. Knit every row (garter stitch) for 20 rows (10 ridges).
Next row, knit 36, bind off the next 16 stitches, knit to the end of the row.
Turn and knit back to the bound off section (90 stitches). Cast on 16 stitches. Use any cast on that will give a fairly firm edge. (I knitted that cast on, but I suppose an 'e' loop cast on would work too.) Knit to the end of the row.
Work another 20 rows of garter stitch.
Bind off loosely. Weave in any ends.
finished width=5"
finished length=42"
slot starts about 10" from the edge and is about 4" long.
Thread end through slot made by the "bind off, cast on".
