Who doesn’t love a soft, fluffy fur yarn in cheerful colors? Of course I bought it as soon as it caught my eye. The problem, though, was creating a scarf that isn't the same-old one- or two-color length of garter stitch.
I tried wraps. Big cables. Color blocks. Stripes. Nothing gave me that "Aha!" moment.
Deciding to give a lacing effect a whirl, I made small buttonholes, marking each one with a long fabric strip knotted into a loop. AHA!
Along the length of the scarf—and inserted while knitting the rows—are unattached loops that move and drape independent of the body of the scarf.
I called today's scarf "Free Wheeling". Click here to download the instructions.
