Is it a scarf, is it a necklace? Either way, its a quick, easy, stylish knit that’s a lot of fun to wear. Here’s how to make one yourself:
Materials: less than one skein of mercerized cotton (I used Sinfonia from Hobby Lobby)
Set of size 3 straight needles.
Cast on 14 stitches and knit in stockinette stitch (knit first row, purl second row, then keep repeating) until the scarf is the length you want it and bind off. Mine is 52″ long so it can be doubled, but you may like it longer or shorter. Just stitch the two ends together to make it a big loop.
I’m planning to make more in some new colors and I think two scarves together will look great. Use the leftover yarn to make one for a good friend. Enjoy!

/ December 2, 2011Aloha! I knit in the same way (stockinette) with two yarns – one usually is Crystal Palace Fizz and the other one is fuzzy yarn and it comes out looking like a Hawaiian lei depending on what colors I choose. Have made at least a couple hundred of them in the past few years and continue to give them away at reunions (made 70 for my husband’s 50 h.s. reunion for his classmates and spouses) and when we have parties, etc.
Have also done the same with the i-cord! Turns out pretty good!
Way to go!

Why does it call for three needles?

/ April 3, 2012Too Cute! I’m gonna try it with some lace and sock yarns to see how it knits up…and stockinette just naturally curls up.

I’m a bit tardy for the party — by now you all know that it’s Size 3 needles (a pair = 2) – not 3 needles.
