Strik is a lace scarf by Védís Jónsdóttir from Ístex’s Einband pattern series, knitted back and forth in one ball of red Einband: an open lace of V shapes in eyelets between garter-stitch edges, 20 × 120 cm after blocking — or longer, as the pattern says to add repeats if you like. One version, one size. Red (0047) is still made.

How it is knitted
Knitted back and forth on 39 stitches, cast on very loosely on a 4 mm circular needle. Five rows of garter stitch (3 ridges) start the scarf. Then the 8-row lace chart is repeated 40 times, or as long as you like: the chart shows the right-side rows, with 3 garter stitches at each edge and three 11-stitch repeats of yarn overs, K2tog and SSK between them; every wrong-side row is K3, P33, K3. Five more rows of garter stitch follow, then a stretchy bind-off, written out in the pattern and worked as loosely as the cast-on. Last, the scarf is rinsed by hand, the water squeezed out with a towel, and it is laid flat to dry with the edges pinned.
Design: Védís Jónsdóttir — pattern from Ístex’s Einband pattern series, no. 8.
