Yarn-partY scarf - Knitting Universe
or ca Y hr an p -tPearrot n y eS c a r f EXperience • beginner • easy shaping • no finishing Yarn-party scarf This is an adaptation of the Shape it Scarf! from The Knit Stitch. There the scarf was done in one yarn–a ribbon. Here it's done in 3 yarns; see notes below. The pattern is a little more complex because the cast-on must be "blended" so the yarns aren't dragged too far. (If you don't understand this, don't worry; the pattern will make it clear!) I love this piece, partly because I always loved how this shaped scarf sits around the neck. But there's more going on here. In knitting we become accustomed to producing the garment, but here we also produce (actually, design!) the fabric. Yea! 10cm/4" 12–13 10–13 • over garter stitches (knit every row) worked in 1 row A, 1 row B, and 1 row C • after blocking or pressing You’ll need or + or or There is no need to be specific about what yarn weights you need. One should be shiny (could be what we call 'railroad tracks'), and can be weight 2–4: one should be 'fluffy,' (could be either an eyelash or something with a very long hair), and can be weight 2–5: one should be a ribbon, and should be weight 4–5 (to give it body), you'll be fine. • Fine–Bulky weight A • ribbon B • shiny yarn C • fluffy or hairy yarn • 70–80 yds in each I used As for combining colors, pick one yarn you really like, then pick 2 that coordinate. If they are all variegated, you'll love the effect! • 6mm/US10, 60cm/24" scarf Use e-wrap cast-on throughout. Make a loose overhand knot with all 3 yarns together, leaving 4" tails. This is just to secure them, so the tails don't get in your way and drive you crazy. You will remove this knot at the end and weave in the tails. With A, cast on 3 stitches and knit 1 row. Turn. * Cast on 1B, 1A, 1B, knit 1 row with B. Turn. cast on 1C, 1B, 1C, knit 1 row with C. Turn. Cast on 1A, 1C, 1A, knit 1 row with A. Turn. If you put each yarn in it's own little baggy, it helps prevent the balls from unwinding and minimizes tangling. Repeat from * to 111 sts.

Remember whose 'turn' it is next. Begin and end cast-on with this yarn. Next Row Alternating 2 yarns, cast on 41 sts, then knit with next yarn. Turn. Repeat from ** —193 sts. Knit with each yarn in sequence until you run out of one OR long pieces are 3½" tall. Knit 1 row with next yarn in sequence, then bind off loosely with final yarn. Undo initial overhand know. Sew in tails. Press to desired drape. Do read labels to ensure that iron setting is not too high for any of the yarns used.
