Be warned! When you find a pattern for a one-skein scarf that calls for a skein that is 110g/3.5 oz, it’s going to be a skinny scarf. The pattern I found for this did not give the dimensions in the introduction, but the included photo made it look wide enough. When I got to the border, I realized that the pattern did not include instructions for the shell stitch. I did a quick internet search, and found another version of the pattern that included the instructions as well as a diagram, but I also noticed that this one included the dimensions: 3 1/2″/9cm wide. That is one skinny scarf. The pattern also claims it is 96″/244cm long, but mine ended up around 68″/173cm. Quite a difference, but it is still plenty long.
I like the pattern overall and especially the look of the scalloped edge and will probably use it again, adding a few more rows than the 3 in the original to give it a little bit more width. It is also the first time in a while I’ve worked with 100% wool yarn, and boy, did I forget what an enjoyable experience that was. I am trying to avoid adding to my yarn stash right now, but if I see an irresistible wool yarn out there, all bets are off.
That is a very pretty Skinny Scarf!
Thanks! And because it is skinny, I can wear it as an accessory without getting too hot.
Lol all bets are off 🙂 pretty scarf 🙂
I can be quite powerless against the call of the yarn.
🙂
Stunning. Great job.
Thanks. The tweedy color was so nice, I’m kind of glad this turned out like it did so I can keep it for myself.
Love the color and the scalloped edging. You definitely should keep this for yourself! Plus, it’s wool!
It’s the first time I’ve done something other than a straight edge on a scarf, but I like the way it turned out so I’ll be using it again.
That is great, it will be a really easy way to add a pop of colour to your outfit without lumbering yourself with a heavy garment.
I agree. More of an accessory than a winter scarf.
