DIY Ruffled Scarf

As the weather begins to cool down, I always get the urge to knit.  I like to start out with a project where I can see the results quickly and this ruffled scarf was just the answer.  My friend, Jennifer, posted a picture a couple of weeks ago on FaceBook of a scarf that she had made. With the ruffledy, colorful, goodness I knew that I was going to have to make one for myself.  I sent her a message asking for the details of her lovely project and was surprised to find out just how easy this little scarf really was.  This scarf is made using Boutique Sashay yarn by Red Heart.  Sashay is a unique kind of yarn with a touch of metallic that creates beautiful ruffle scarves and accessories with just one ball.  The yarn is more like a ribbon, about 4 inches wide.  There are great videos to teach you how to knit with the ribbon type yearn.  A scarf like mine will take only one skein and can be completed in about three hours.

The ruffles are made with only 6 stitches knitting back and fourth until the skein is used up.  I made my scraf a big loop and then just wrap it around my neck twice.  Pink being my favorite color, I chose to make it first but I have another skein of a beige and grey varigated. I found several other brands of this kind of yarn here and here.  These yarns are slightly different but knit up in the same manner.  I can't wait to wear my new scraf.

Someone in our waiting room at work was knitting with this in tan/gold. I'm so excited to see it again. I looked for it at HObbyLobby but did not see colors I liked. Looking forward to making myself one.
