To build a halfcircle

How to form a sideways knitted and half-circle (or half-doughnut) scarf, shaped by short rows in the stocking stitch section. It is knitted along with the lace border as one piece. Apply your own lace edging design - please remember to choose a pattern which is loose enough to stretch during blocking. I used rib lace and openwork rib lace versions.

 

After the straight beginning:
     1.  2 rows N
     2.  1 row BX (put pushers rest position as the chart indicate)
     3.  carriage on the left: hook yarn to the nearest needle with pusher in rest position 

     4.  1 row BX

     5.  repeat from step 1.
