Some Knitted Scarves

These are some scarves I've knitted in the past for myself and family members.



This is a skinny accent scarf that I made for my mom. It's done in Lion Brand Glitterspun in one repeat of a simple feather and fan pattern with garter stitch border. It's a little scratchy, but it looks cute with a black peacoat.




This is a scarf I knit for myself and it's one of my favorites! I used Moda Dea Cache yarn in the "siren" colorway. The scarf is just a generic drop stitch pattern with garter stitch and I really like the way the thick and thin nature of the yarn makes the dropped stitches look so interesting. I also knit it on size 13 needles, which are much larger than the gauge on the label, which makes the wool softer against your skin than a tighter knit would be. It's also easy and fast to knit because 1) the pattern is very easy to memorize, 2) it's knit on big needles, and 3) for my particular tension it always takes me exactly two skeins of this yarn to make one perfect length scarf with nothing to spare. I think I've made three of these total, but I've given away the other two. I get compliments on this scarf when I wear it out, which always makes me happy. :)




This picture isn't very good but unfortunately I don't have a better one. This was a scarf I knit for my sister. I used Baby Alpaca Grande yarn in the 2050 color, which is one strand each of orange and pink. The pattern was the Short Row Rib Scarf from Magknits, but since Magknits doesn't exist anymore you can find the pattern here: http://www.clipclip.org/clips/detail/10110/scarf This scarf has beautiful drape, but my sister says it does tend to shed a little fuzz. It's very soft and cuddly.

I like to knit in general. If you're a knitter too, you can follow me on Ravelry; my username is kallyn.
