If you want to make a scarf make 2 sides and use the kitchner stitch to attach. If you find a problem with this pattern, please email me with Shamrock 1 in the subject to YFRKerrie at yahoo dot com. I am working on Shamrock 2 so be on the lookout.
Please feel free to send this pattern to a friend.

    I started on the pattern . I find it very confusing. I evidently am doing something wrong.
    For instance row 1 is to knit 30 stitches across, indicating all odd rows are knit; then row 5 is missing and instructions say to knit row 6 which is even.
    Need help!

    Hi Darlene, These illusion cloths are fun to knit!
    I'll put a few comments in parenthesis to try to help:
    (
    Row 1: Knit Across (30) (All Odd Rows are KNIT) (Knit this in White)
    Row 2: Knit Across (30) (Do not cut color just change and carry)(Knit this in White)
    Row 3: Knit Across (30) (All Odd Rows are KNIT) (knit this in green)
    Row 4: Purl Across (30) (Knit this in green)
    (Row 5: Knit this in white and all the rest of the odd rows are white unless stated as green in the original pattern)
    Row 6: Knit Across (30) (White row)
    Row 8: Purl Across (30) (Green row)
    Row 10: K13 P2 K15 (White row) (Now follow the original pattern for even rows that alternate between green and white)

    Let me know how it goes!

    Darla
