Raspberry Fizz for Katherine

This was another easy one. I used three balls of Lion Brand Fun Fur and size 11 needles. I cast on 22 stitches and knit every row. EXCEPT on this scarf I slipped the first stitch of each row, knit-wise. It makes a very smooth edge.

Patsy's Extra Fancy Fur

I made this really fun scarf using three balls of Lion Brand Fancy Fur. I used size 13 needles.

I knit every row. I randomly knit in some subtle stripes by adding a strand of additional yarn in coordinating colors for a row or two every dozen or so rows.

Sue's Fuzzy Lace

I made Sue's scarf back in April before I started blogging about them. She wore it to work last week because it's gotten cold here.
I made this out of a fuzzy yarn I got on sale. I don't remember exactly what brand it was, but I think it was Bernat Frenzy. If that's not it I know that it's the same weight an feel as Frenzy.

The lace is very basic : knit one, *yarn over, knit two together, repeat from *, ending with knit one. Even numbered rows are knit across.

Pale Blue for Cindy

I started working this only in Moda-Dea's Chi Chi yarn, but I wanted something more. So, I added a sport weight yarn. Using one strand of each yarn I cast on 16 stitches and used size 11 needles. I knit the first two rows with both yarns. Then I knit the next two rows using only the Chi Chi yarn. I kept alternating until the scarf was 60 inches long, ending with two rows using both yarns.

Fancy Fur for Marie

This was so easy. I used three balls of Lion Brand Fancy Fur and size 13 needles.
I cast on 16 stitches and worked the whole thing in garter stitch EXCEPT
every sixth row I worked another color and type of yarn across. I alternated a fuchsia mohair, a turquoise fun fur yarn, a lavender Chi Chi yarn, a jade Chi Chi and a purple mohair. The stripes are very subtle and make a nice effect.

Lavender Fluff

Megan gets to model her own birthday scarf. And it was only four months late!
Actually, I only have three more scarves to do before I get caught up to the three October birthdays. I really think I'll be on time for some of the November birthdays.

Bright Red Fun Fur for Anne

This is so easy. I used three balls of Lion brand Fun Fur and size 13 needles.

cast on two stitches.
Row 1 -Knit front and back of each stitch.
Row 2 - Knit
Row 3 - Knit front and back of first stitch, knit 2, knit front and back of last stitch.
Row 4 Knit across
continue increasing at beginning and end of odd number rows until you have 16 stitches. Knit the even numbered rows.

Knit all rows until scarf is 60 inches long. Begin decreasing by knitting two together on the first two and last two stitches of every other orw until you only have two stitches. Bind off.

Purple for Mary Belle

Kim is modeling Mary Belle's birthday shawl. I knit it in a three yarn stripe using Moda-Dea(TM) Aerie Yarn, Moda-Dea(TM) Prima Yarn and Moda-Dea(TM) Ticker Tape Yarn . That Ticker Tape yarn is hard to work with. I truly love making three yarn stripe scarves.

Mary Belle is a faithful volunteer who is 85 years young, and I do mean young. I don't know what we 'll do if she ever decides she doesn't want to keep volunteering.

Fuzzy Pink for Kelly

This is super easy. Use size 13 needles and 3 balls of Moda-Dea's Prima yarn.
Cast on 15 stitches and knit every row until scarf is about 64 inches long. cast off.

It's not a one-hour scarf, but I did finish it in less than three hours.

A Soft Pink Babushka

This triangle lace scarf is a pattern from a chart. I’m writing out the pattern because I had trouble reading the chart. The next time I work from a chart I’m going to get those magnetic strips that cross stitchers use to keep track of where they are.
The scarf begins with 2 stitches and grows 2 stitches every other row. The yarn overs create a lace pattern.

Purple Fluff for Beth

Megan agreed to model Beth's scarf. It's worked in garter stitch throughout. Using size 11 needles I cast on 60 stitches using Moda Dea Prima Yarn in purple. I knit four rows, then knit two together in every stitch for two rows. I ended up with 16 stitches. These I knit every row until the piece measured 60 inches. Then I knit in the front and back of each stitch for two rows. This made a total of 60 stitches. I knit two more rows and bound it off. The two ends are ruffled. It was easy, quick and really looks nice. I used a little less than three balls of yarn. It only took four hours to make this scarf.

A Brown Wool Scarf for Tim

Tim requested brown for his birthday scarf. After working with so many fancy furs and other colorful yarns it was a change to work with plain wool. I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Chunky Yarn in Walnut. The pattern is a Thick and Thin Basketweave. It's worked on size 10 1/2 needles. It took two skeins to make this scarf.

Colorful Stripes for Ricky

Phyllis got to model this scarf because her black shirt showed off the wonderful colors in the scarf.

This festive looking scarf was made with three balls of Moda Dea's Sassy Stripes in Rave on size 8 needles.

Cast on 32 stitches.
Knit 4 rows.
Row 5 - Knit 1, *Yarn over, knit 2 together. Repeat from * across row, ending with Knit 1.

Repeat rows 1-5 until scarf is about 70 inches long.

Knit 4 rows. Bind off.

You'll have about a third of a ball left to make fringe. I made the fringe six inches long.

Lou's Fuzzy Mohair Scarf

Larry is modeling Lou's fuzzy scarf. I used 2 skeins of Galaxy Yarn by Bernat. The color is "Milky Way".
I used size 10 1/2 needles.

Cast on 16 stitches. Work 4 rows in garter stitch.
Row 5: Knit wrapping yarn twice around needle in each stitch.
Row 6: Knit, dropping extra loops in each stitch.
Rows 7 and 8: Knit.
Repeat rows 5-8 until scarf is 74 inches long.
End with four rows of garter stitch.
Bind off.

The pattern that came with the yarn called for fringe. We had a big discussion at work on whether or not men like fringe on a scarf. The decision was "no fringe".

The Three Yarn Stripe

This is so easy and so wonderful looking. It's just garter stitch done with three different yarns. Start a different yarn at the end of each row. I used 2 balls of CiCi Yarn from Patons in Brazil blue, 2 balls of Moda dea Kickx in Karma, and 1 skein of Homespun from Lion Brand in Colonial.

I worked it on size 12 needles.
Cast on 18 stitches and garter stitch till the scarf is about 74 inches long, alternating the three yarns on every row.
I'm going to try this technique with a lot of different yarns.

When I finish the scarf project I want to use this technique for a vest.

Laura's Ruffled Shawl

Laura is always cold, so a scarf just wouldn't do. I made this lacy shawl for her in colors she likes. I love the ruffle. It's so simple.

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.

I used Moda-Dea Tiara -3 balls - Pinky
and 2 balls of Bernat Frenzy in fuschia.

This one was really fast. I made it for another JoAnne. We have three JoAnne's at the library. Martha is modeling the scarf. It's actually jade green, but the picture keeps coming out blue.
