This long-fringed scarf is
a quick project.
Resembling a boa it can be
worn in several ways
and will certainly be a lot
warmer.
You will
need:
2 balls of
50g of DK wool
- I used Lang
Merino Superwash colour 340034 jeans-blue
For the
fringe: 5 balls of various yarns
- I used
mostly green yarn from my stash, one bright-green silk-mohair blend, one
petrol-blue fun-fur, one dark-green yarn mixed with shiny thread, one turquois
cotton and one paper-yarn in mixed colours: Ganpi Abaka by NORO. As you can
see, this scarf is an ideal stash-busting project, all it takes is finding
matching colours: blue with green and blue, orange with brown and beige, red
with purple and pink, white with white and gold, black with black and silver,
etc...
One set of
knitting needles 4,5mm or US 7, one crochet hook 4mm or US G
Cast-on 22
stitches in DK wool using both needles (this will ensure elasticity of the
cast-on edge), then remove one needle.
Knit 290 rows
in garter stitch, bind-off loosely
Prepare 120
mixed groups of 50cm threads for the fringe, using five different kinds of yarn
Using the
crochet hook and your DK wool, crochet 1 single crochet (US) or 1 double
crochet (UK) in one corner of the long edge, then attach the group of
fringe-threads by folding it in half and attaching it with the crochet hook,
make a loop and fasten well. Tie a knot in the fringe with your hands, fasten
well. Sc 6 (US) or dc 6 (UK), then attach the next group of fringe-threads.
Make sure the groups of fringe-threads are attached 2,5cm from each other.
Work both short edges and one long edge of the scarf.
Have Fun !
