If you're a crafter, you're probably not in in
"last-minute gifts" territory yet. Christmas is still a few weeks
away, so you have plenty of time to put the finishing touches on the handmade
presents you've been working on. Maybe you'd even like to start something new. This
knitted scarf is easy to make and requires absolutely no concentration. It's
worked entirely in garter stitch, so once you cast on, you can just knit back and
forth without counting. That's why it's a perfect project to keep your hands
busy while you're watching Christmas movies and sipping hot cocoa.
The secret to the scarf's fluffy look and feel is the
yarn--Pipsqueak from Bernat. It's like knitting a cloud. I will give you one
bit of advice about working with this yarn: be careful you don't drop any
stitches while you're working. The yarn has a loopy texture that makes it hard
to see individual stitches after you move them off your needles.
With that said, I'll share the directions for this
super-simple scarf. Ready?
Cast on 30 stitches (or desired number). Work in garter
stitch (knit every row) until the scarf reaches the length you like. Cast off
all stitches.
Oh, I love this yarn, but I've only crocheted with it... It knits up so beautifully! Very nice scarf!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jenny, I love this yarn too. You crochet with it? I'm impressed! I have a hard time figuring out where to put my hook in all that fluff.
DeleteLol, I picked up a ball when I was a beginner, and it was impossible! Over the years, I've practiced and learned to feel the stitches instead of fighting through the furriness.
DeleteThat's so pretty and it looks so soft and cozy! I have GOT to learn how to knit one of these days...
ReplyDeleteOh my that looks so lovely and fluffy! Thanks for sharing on the #HomeMattersParty . I hope you will join us again next week.
