MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
This skinny scarf is perfect for adding colour to any outfit. The short version uses just one ball of double knit yarn, making it ideal for using up odd balls in your stash.
But what’s even more exciting than stash-busting is trying out new yarns! Because this scarf only needs one or two balls, it’s a great way to experiment with different fibres or shades. I’ve even used one ball of silk and one ball of cashmere to add a touch of luxury around my neck.
The stitch pattern is another joy – it looks a little like crochet, yet it’s knit. It might seem complicated at first glance, but once you get used to the 8-row repeat, you’ll find it’s super easy. In fact, 4 of those rows are simply knit!
