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.
