"You typically cannot carry yarn when you are sewing panels together or using the intarsia method to create designs in projects, carrying the yarn up will make the seams too bulky and can alter the look of the blanket entirely while making it almost impossible to put the panels together properly. I typically suggest to my students that they darn as they go, even if they don't do all the darning doing at least some of it makes the task a little less daunting."

"Do you still have the original scarf? I am assuming that when you say "look knitted on both sides" you mean the V looking stitch. There is no way to get that with just knitting back and forth, but there are a few different ways to achieve that look. You can knit a rib scarf, K1 P1 on the right side and then P1 K1 on the wrong side it will look knitted on both sides until you stretch it apart. Another option is the way my mom always made scarves that was to make a 'tube' by knitting in the round. There is also 'Double Knitting' that makes things double thick but achieves the V stitch on both sides. But here is my last thought, can it possibly be that your Mom actually crocheted the scarf using what I know as the Waistcoat stitch? This particular stitch looks like the knitted V on both sides when it's done correctly and I have some items done with this technique from my Great Aunt that she had learned from her Great Aunt so I know that stitch has definitely been around for more than 100 years. I hope this helps."

"I made a dozen of these in different colors as bridal party favors for my daughter's wedding. By using lobster-claw clasps at the ends, I attached two cords to each bag - short for a wristlet and long for a crossbody. They were a big hit"

"Sorry, can't agree with anything you've stated here. The knitting needle size used will be dependent upon obtaining gauge, not what area of the world you live in. The short row shaping is definitely part of the pattern and is not divisible by anything, each row in short row shaping is typically different, that is the point of it, you will not have to add anything to it at all, if the pattern is followed specifically line by line, all will be well."

"I think this should be done on a US 6 needle, not 8. 8 maybe in Europe. And it would have been helpful if you had said that row 23 was not part of the pattern. That really threw me off for a while. The pattern for the short rows is in multiples of 8. Add 8 to each row, knit or pearl. Makes a lovely shawl."

Checked Blanket Square

"Simple purls and knits create a checked fabric in this easy square knitting pattern. This 8″ by 8″ knit square has texture that just calls for you to snuggle up in a cozy blanket. This blanket square takes a garter checkerboard stitch and interrupts it with a stockinette center. Combine this square with my other square knitting patterns to make a baby blanket or a checkerboard throw! The repeat rows are longer for this pattern due to the off set nature of the checkerboard. However, the good news is when you work a right side row it’s the same. The texture is only worked on the wrong side row. So it’s an easy knit and a great knitting project for fall. "
