Loopy & Luscious Scarf

Loopy & Luscious Scarf

Finished this scarf from Knitty Winter '02 - the Loopy & Luscious Scarf by Natalie Wilson. Breeze to make on size 19 needles using Rowan Kidsilk Haze in color 628 a deep chocolate brown. Other yarn is Crystal Palace Yarns Raggedy Print in color 9165, a variegated blue that looks very denim like. Great to wear. Very light and airy - just keeps the chill off. I've never used Kidsilk before - what a delight! Very soft - not scratchy or itchy at all.

HOW TO MAKE IT:
It's super easy to make - just cast on 44 stitches and do garter stitch (knit every row) in Kidsilk for 4 rows, then 1 row of Raggedy. I tied off the Raggedy at each end and left a tail, adding to the well - raggedy appearance. Use circular needles since it's only one row of Raggedy you just push the stitches to the other end & pick up the Kidsilk where you left off.



Loved the first one so much I did a second to give to my friend Hank:
