First ever Ruffle Scarf

After sometime I finally figured out how to make a ruffle scarf! Many of my groups I follow on Facebook, tell me to use the Flower loom, I tried it multiple times but saw knitting the scarf to be much easier.

This yarn is a little tricky to work with since it's "netting" , it does like to turn as you are working with it. However, to get started I spread the yarn for a few inches so it's apart so you can pick up the stitches better.

Here's the pattern I used,

To pick up the first stitch holding the yarn in your left hand, and the knitting needle in your right:

-Insert the needle from back to the front through a hole at the top edge, then do this again 4 more time for a total of 5 cast on stiches
- Turn your work so that the needle with the stitches is now in your left hand.

To begin knitting:
-Insert your right-hand needle into the front of the first st(just as if you were making a knit st) on the left-hand needle, then through the next hole at the top of the working yarn, through the back. 
-Keep doing this for the next 4 stitches, turn, and continue working each row in the same manner.

To cast off:
Knit first 2 stitches of row, use the basic bind of method for casting off. Pick up the first knitted stitch, take it over the 2nd stitch and off the end of the needle. Knit another st, and repeat this process until the last st is left on the right-hand needle. Pull remaining yarn end through this stitch and pull firmly to fasten off.


If it's hard to follow my instructions, here's the video that helped me through this.

Enjoy! I have lots of this yarn to work with!

Can't have enough Scarfs!

There is a couples rules in my mind, women can never have enough shoes, jewelry, clothes and most importantly, Scarves!

Well some men like scarves to ;)

So here are a few that I made up myself and my own pattern.

This one was made with Homespun - Pearl Yarn.

 For the life of me I can not remember the color of this yarn or the brand, I'll search my yarn collection for the label, and let you all know. But it is a nice warm scarf for the lovely Ohio winters we get hit with every year.


*Pattern*
I used a size L crochet hook for the both of these.

Ch. 144(or however long or short you want it)
Single Crochet in the second chain from hook and all across the chain, ch 2 and turn.
Repeat until desired width. I crochet  8 rows to make it 6 inches across, perfect width :)


See, easy does it :) This makes a great Christmas gift! Enjoy!
