Go Team Venture!

For Halloween, I was Hank Venture. Siobhan was Dean Venture (it was totally her idea). Dan was Brock Samson. It was so sweet. So, a pattern for you, even though it is really a glorified triangle.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hank Venture, Venture Brothers, Venture Industries etc. If you want to sell these, well, heck, it's a triangle. Like I care. Just don't market them as a Venture product. Because we don't own that. So, now that we've beaten that horse to death:

Hank Venture's Neckerchief


5 mm needles (straight or circular) +1 for 3-needle action
I ball super 10 cotton, Hank Venture Blue
*I don't know if I used Super 10. I found something unlabeled in the basement that seems like it. Whatever. Get the gauge.

Gauge: 15 sts = 4" once hella blocked

Main Triangle
CO 71 sts
Rows 1-3: Knit
Row 4 (wrong side): Purl
Row 5 (right side): Knit
Row 6: Purl

Row 7: K2, ssk, knit to last 4 sts, k2tog, k2
Row 8: K2, purl to last 2 sts, k2
Repeat rows 7 and 8 until 7 sts remain.

next row: k2, sl1, k2tog, psso
next row: k5
next row: K1, sl1, k2tog, psso, k1
next row: k3
next row: sl1, k2tog, psso

Tabs
Casing (only on one side of neckerchief)
Bottom half of casing
pick up 6 sts at corner.
row 1 (right side): k6
row 2 (wrong side): k1, p4, k1
repeat rows 1 and 2 until measures 1".

Top half of casing
With right side facing, pick up 6 stitches from same starting point as bottom half of casing. Knit same as bottom half for 1". Looks something like this:
With right sides facing, knit together as if working a three needle bind off, but without the binding off part. 6 sts.

Proceed to tab.

Row 2: KFB, K3, KFB, K1

Row 3: K2, P4, K2

next row: k2, p2, k2
next row: k1, ssk, ktog, k1
next row: k4

last row: k2 tog

Second tab:
(Same as first tab without casing. But here you go anyway.)
Pick up 6 stitches at corner.
row 1 (right side): k6
row 2 (wrong side): k1, p4, k1
repeat rows 1 and 2 until measures 1".
Row 1: K2, P2, K2
Row 2: KFB, K3, KFB, K1

Row 3: K2, P4, K2
