Christmas 2011 - The Year of the Scarf! The Spiny Scarf!! Nov 2011

I will not lie.  This scarf is more challenging than the others.  But it still looks really cool and it's fun to make!  I really like the two colors in this scarf.  I'm not sure what inspired this scarf, I think it was a thought followed by a complete experiment, but it really worked out!  The pattern may be hard to follow, but remember, there are three mini-rows between each of the spines before moving on to the next section.  I hope you enjoy!

Spine:

Row 1: ch 1, sc 10, chain 4, sc in second chain from hook, sc 2 (makes "rib"), sc2tog (joining back to main chain), repeat until end, turn.
Row 2: repeat row 1, cut yarn and tie off.

"Meat":
join second color at one end as if beginning a new row from the spine.
Round 1: ch 1, sc 9, sc2tog, sc up "rib" to top, make 3 st from one, sc down "rib" to bottom, sc2tog, repeat until end of spine and "ribs", make 3 st from one and continue repeating from previous side to beginning, make 3 st from one, join to beginning of round, do not turn.
