"Woven" Scarf!

[Addey]

Well, those who know me, know that I don't do fringe. I don't like it, it gets messy and it's annoying to make.

Well, I had to break my fringe rule, because this scarf was too cool. I think I saw one posted here and that's how I found the pattern, I'm not sure. This has actually been done for a few weeks, but I kept forgetting to take pictures. It used up the last of the thick 'n' quick chinele (sp?) from the hat I made last year that matches my winter jacket.

Well, here's the pics:

That's really cute... I like it! I have about 3 balls of Incredible ribbon yarn... that would look great in a similar scarf. Hmmmmm.... now you got me thinking.. LOL!

Very nice scarf. Where did you get the pattern from?

Oh I love it! I'm not a fringe gal myself, but I agree with you - that piece was worth breaking the rules for

I'll have to look up the pattern, but essentially, all you do is chain as long as you want the scarf (I like mine short as I don't wrap it around my neck, but shove it down my jacket) and then create rows of DC mesh (i.e. dc, ch2, skip 2, dc) across. I made mine 4 rows, because I was running out of gray, but the pattern called for 5. I also used a bigger hook because the pattern was originally for WW yarn. Then just weave in looong strands of the other yarn (or it might even look neat using the same yarn...). I used 4 strands for each "hole" but the original pattern called for only 2. 2 looked a little thin for me, so I just added more. I also added more fringe to the ends by cutting lengths and tying them on with a larks-head knot. Trim to the same length, and enjoy!

 

(I promise, I'll try and find the real pattern... but I think I threw out the printout last weekend in a cleaning fit...)
