I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.

The Woven Stitch Scarf
This is the woven stitch scarf I made for Julie. I used size 12 needles and one strand each of
Lion Brand Homespun yarn and
Lion Brand Incredible Yarn .
I used one skein of Homespun and two balls of Incredible. I adapted the pattern is from the book Knit Scarves! 16 Cool Patterns to Keep You Warm by Candi Jensen.
I love the pattern because it reminds me of Persian lamb. The Incredible ribbon yarn gives a little bit of sheen.
Cast on 20 stitches.
Row 1 *Knit 1, move yarn to front and slip the next stitch purlwise; move yarn back; repeat from* to end of row.
Row 2 *Purl 1, move yarn to the back and slip the next stitch purlwise, move yarn to the front; repeat from * to end of row.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until scarf measures 70 inches.
Bind off.
