Stitch a Scarf that Looks Like Chains

I’m nonetheless deep in engaged on utilizing my yarn leftovers, and if you’re, too, I’ve obtained some extra concepts for you. Considered one of my favourite sorts of knitting tasks for folk of all talent ranges is scarves, as a result of there are simply so many variations and they’re an effective way to make use of scraps or bigger quantities of yarn left over from different tasks.

These patterns largely name for worsted weight yarn, however after all you need to use no matter you’ve available and modify the dimensions if desired to accommodate utilizing completely different yarn.

You possibly can go all in on the scrappy seem like the Senseless Scrap Scarf from Penguin Pages, which is a garter sew scarf made with a magic ball with seen knots. That is extra of a technique than a sample, and in order for you it rather less scrappy you possibly can additionally simply ensure that to finish every colour on the finish of a row (or depart tails lengthy sufficient to weave in).

One other methodology I personally love is working from the lengthy aspect in a easy sew sample and altering colours each row or at any time when they occur to vary. I’ve made a few scarves this fashion and it’s at all times a whole lot of enjoyable (apart from casting on and binding off that many stitches without delay!). You possibly can see this methodology in garter sew within the Snippet Scarf from Becky Williams (free on Ravelry) or linen sew from Destashification Mission.

In order for you one thing a little bit extra attention-grabbing than straight knitting, attempt the Huge Previous Bias Knit Scarf from Fingers Occupied. Labored in garter sew on the bias, that is a simple approach to make use of a bunch of scraps in a simple challenge that doesn’t look newbie however continues to be easy to do in case you can work a primary improve and reduce. Plan your scarf to have the ends match or simply use all of the scraps you’ve.

Pia Thadani has a enjoyable and straightforward lace sample you possibly can work in a single yarn or with scraps. The Seeded Arrows Skinny Scarf (obtainable on Ravelry) makes use of a simple repeating lace sample that’s introduced in phrases and chart type within the sample. It’s so fairly in a multicolored yarn and it might look nice made with leftovers, too.

If in case you have just a bit little bit of yarn you wish to use for a cute challenge, attempt the Newbie Keyhole Scarf from Kate Donaldson (free on Ravelry). This one makes use of simply 100 to 130 yards/91-119 meters of yarn, although after all you possibly can make it longer too. This can be a candy little accent and a shawl you possibly can put on all day!

I’ve really made a Mustard Scarf by Jane Richmond earlier than (although mine is blue!), and it’s a extremely enjoyable and fast single skein challenge. It requires 130 to 150 yards of yarn, or 119 to 137 meters, and makes use of a simple mesh sample. You possibly can seize it on Ravelry. 

One other basic possibility is to simply knit a giant triangle (or a triangle of any measurement, for that matter) and name it a shawl. The Newbie Scarf from Darling J’adore on Etsy requires chunky yarn, however if you wish to use worsted you may make it smaller or knit to no matter measurement you want in no matter yarn you’ve. It’s an asymmetrical garter sew triangle that’s a basic design you’ll wish to sew up many times, in solids, stash-busting stripes or another approach you want.

So many of those could be nice charity knitting tasks, too, which lets you use your yarn stash even sooner, because you in all probability solely know so many individuals you possibly can present scarves to!
