A Fluffy Blue Scarf for Lisa

Here's a really nice lacey, fuzzy scarf. The color is perfect for Lisa. It looks good on Phyllis too. It was really quick - less than three hours to make.

I used three balls of Lion Brand Fancy Fur.

Using size 12 needles cast on 20 stitches. Knit 2 rows.

Row 3 - Knit 1 stitch, yarn over the needle 2 times. Repeat across the row ending with knit 1 stitch.

Row 4 - Knit 1 stitch, drop the 2 yarn overs off the needle. Repeat across the row ending with knit 1 stitch.

Repeat these four rows until you almost use up the yarn, scarf will measure about 72 inches long. Bind off all stitches and weave in the yarn end.

The Triangle Scarf

I made this striped scarf for Stephie who is small, young and blond. It's a very soft scarf that is shaped to the shoulders. This pattern simply starts with four stitches and increases one stitch every other row until you hit the midpoint. Then you decrease one stitch every other row. The yarn is changed every other row to give a striped effect. I like this pattern and plan to try it with some different yarns.

Yarn:
One skein Caron’s Cozy ( a boucle yarn that’s 75% acrylic and 21% polyester)
One skein Bernat’s Frenzy ( a fuzzy yarn that’s 37% nylon, 30% acrylic, 12% polyester, 10.5% alpaca, and 10.5% mohair)
Needles: Size 12

The Basketweave Scarf

This one was easy. I used a confetti fun fur type yarn and a crinkly sport weight yarn combined, one strand of each knit together. I got the yarn at Wal-Mart. Who knew they sold yarn at Wal-Mart!

It takes three balls of the fuzzy yarn and two skeins of the crinkly yarn. I used size 11 needles.

Cast on 20 stitches.
Rows 1-4 - Knit 5, purl5 across - This looks like a wide rib
Rows 5-8 - Purl 5, knit 5 across. - This reverses the rib.

This pattern works with any even multiple of 5.


Repeat rows 1-8 until the scarf is long enough and bind off.

A Fluffy Red Scarf for Linda

Chele and Phyllis love the fluffy red scarf I made for Linda. It was one of the easiest yet.

I used 3 balls of Lion Brand Fancy Fur and combined it with Caron's simply soft yarn in a bright red. I have a one pound skein of the Simply Soft, and this scarf hardly made a dent in it.

Using size 10 needles, cast on 21 stitches.

Knit, Purl across every row until you run out of fancy fur. Bind off.

This is a seed stitch. It's hard to tell it's a seed stitch because the Fancy Fur is so fuzzy.

The Very Long, Skinny Scarf

This is very long indeed. Chele is modeling it for me, but I made it for Ann. These are Ann's kind of colors.

I worked this scarf on a number 10 circular needle. I used five different yarns. The base yarn is Lion Brand's Homespun in the Mexicali color blend. I have included some fun fur, some eyelash and some mohair in the blend.

Cast on 200 stitches. Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl all the way to the end. Repeat for four rows.

Switch to another color. Knit every stitch and repeat for four rows. I used two strands together to get about the same gauge as the Homespun yarn.

Switch to the base color. Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl the whole row. Repeat for four rows.

Switch to another color. Knit every stitch and repeat for four rows.

Switch to the base color. Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl the whole row. Repeat for four rows.

Bind off in pattern.
