Scarves

Spring definitely is my favorite season. Here comes an end to heavy coats, muddy boots, sodden hats, clumsy mittens and all that bulky stuff.
It’s the time to spend time outside again, sit in the yard, share the dogs joy in greeting all the little flowers and fresh leaves on the walks he allows me to share with him.

Isn’t it romantic? Maybe the name is not…

Sometimes knitting has to be easy, mindless and colorful.

Eyelash and fun fur yarns are ideal for this purpose. Just choose a great couple of different yarns and knit. No pattern reading, no shaping – just knit.

A normal size scarf from just one ball of yarn? A scarf made of 25 grams of wool?

I’ve worked on that issue.

Here are 4 scarves, made from either 1 ball of Rowans KidSilk Haze or Adriafil Touch, 1 ball of recycled Sari Silk yarn, 1 ball of Gedifra Sheela or 1 ball of Lana Grossa Pep.

All make great commuter or “on the go” projects – light weight, easy to store, comfortable to knit everywhere.

In Germany, fall is grey, wet and cold. Nothing else. Just the right time for some extra color and coziness from a scarf.
I love self striping yarns. I really do. Many colors in just one ball mean endless possibilities for adventurous knitters. Edgar the edgy scarf is my latest approach to the possibilities of one or two balls of self striping yarns, showing off all their beauty and brightness.

One ball of Noro Silk Garden or Noro Kureyon knits up to a cravat, 43 inches long. If you’d like an extra long Edgar, 2 balls will end him at 85 inches. If you want him medium (43 inches), one and a half ball will do.

In the last couple of weeks I had quite a few people asking or searching for scarves made from Gedifra Sheela.

Sheela is a great yarn, soft, quick to knit and - best of all - it knits into a fabric coming close to a sheepskin. A knitters dream.

A scarf can be finished in one evening which makes it a nice gift.

If you like Sheela scarves, please also look at my “One Ball Scarves”, there is a pattern for a cravat knitted from just one ball of Sheela included.

You will get  patterns for 2 Sheela scarves - one calling for 3 skeins of Gedifra Sheela, one calling for one ball of Gedifra Sheela and two balls of Gedifra Tagliato.

You should know how to cast on, bind off, knit and purl.

For a while now I have been in love with mosaic patterns.
If you combine a solid colour yarn with a self striping yarn the effect is tremendous. My intention was to create a mosaic or slip stitch pattern that is suitable for a scarf – giving you a scarf which looks alike on both sides, using only one colour per row and displaying the brightness of the yarns.

The mosaic pattern this scarf uses is easy to knit –  just give it a try.
