Another Little Scarf

| | Comments (11)

If you want a quick and simple but lovely project for a Saturday afternoon, the Bow-knot Scarf is a good pick.

Bow-knot in Tahoe
This is one of the few patterns that I have ever worked more than once (the others being a simple Eros scarf and my standard sock pattern -- I guess the moral of the story is that anything I do more than once needs to be mostly mindless knitting). It's a nice pattern, geared for a worsted weight yarn, but it's simple enough that it can be adjusted without too much difficulty so that almost any weight yarn could be an option. I think it's also one of those patterns that even a very beginning knitter can achieve great results with, given that it's almost entirely worked in garter stitch.

This project was worked on US size 7 needles (4.5 mm) with Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb in Tahoe (left over from Clapotis). I think, without a doubt, that one skein of Lion and Lamb could yield two of these lovely little neck warmers. The last one of these that I made took just under one skein of Silk Garden.

Because this little scarf goes easily into the opening of almost any jacket, is light and soft and very skin friendly, it's a good bet that I will probably actually wear it more often than I wear Clapotis. And it's also a good bet that I will probably make another one. I just need to find some more delicious yarn to work with!

I made this pattern from sport weight yarn. I wish I had had enough yarn to make the neck a little wider. Pretty yarn and wonderful picture.

Just order 1 skein of Lamb's pride worsted to start this scarf. I remember I had a very similar scarf as a kid, and I miss it. I am going to make myself one of this!
