Rainbow Ribbon Scarf

[goldenj32w2]

I just finished this scarf. It took me forever to figure out what kind of stitch I wanted to use. I was going to try to use a Soloman's Knot, but it just did not look right so I played around and decided to use a long dc. I wanted something that would show off the ribbon. Sorry the pics don't do it justice. The ribbon is shinny and hard to photograph, but the scarf is way cool looking. I found the ribbon at the Dollar Tree for just a dollar each. I used 2 balls, with a small amount from a 3rd just for the fringe, and I used a K hook.

 

Hope you like it as much as I do!

 

 

I would really like to make a shawl with this yarn, but don't know what pattern to use, any suggestions would be great!!

 

Thanks,

Judy

The scarf is beautiful!!! I keep looking at that yarn and can never decide what to do with it, so I don't get it . Now I just might give it a try! Sorry, can't help you out with a shawl pattern. If I come up with something I'll get back to you!

VERY pretty!!

Thanks! It worked up really quick, the stitches are pulled to a lenght of a ch6. It is really fun, now if I can just find the right pattern for the shawl that will show off the ribbon! Let me know if you see something!

That really turned out pretty. I have never been happy with what I made with the ribbon yarn. Yours looks way better than anything I have done. I suspect that the reason the yarn is so on sale is that lots of other people had the same problem I did.

Some time ago I made a shawl with lattice yarn called Midas metalic. I used the "Offset Filet Network" found on page 50 in the Harmony Guide vol 6.

I used a 7 mm hook and made the shawl to measure 22 in. x 76 in.

 

Here is a pix to give you an idea of what you could do.

I've been wondering what the heck to do with some of that ribbon yarn at dollar tree. That's a great idea The scarf looks great!Just one question though what is a "long double crochet" How do you pull it to make it longer or is there something else you have to do?

As far as a scarf pattern I'm not sure I'll look around though I may have something and I just don't know it (I'm a pattern junkie hehe)

Beautiful scarf! I have some ribbon that I bought last year and don't know what to do with...that's an awesome idea!

That is cute. I'm with many of you--I bought the yarn for $1 at Dollar Tree and didn't know what to do with it. I think I'll make a scarf too! In the winter I wear a lot of scarves not only to stay warm but also because they dress up a plain shirt/turtle neck.

Thanks for all of the nice comments, I wore this to town to day and had lots of compliments on it! Here is how the stitch is done, and it is called a long dc http://www.anniesattic.com/stitches/crochet/videos/doublecrochet_long.html

 

I worked it in the stitch, but my first stitch of the row was a ch6, and the stitch was pulled to match the top of my ch.

 

Thanks again!

Beautiful scarf! The colors are so bright and cheery. I see the ribbon yarn at the dollar store all the time and never knew what I could do with it. Oh great, yet another excuse to buy more yarn!

Hi Judy,

 

I'm confused. Is it ribbon or is it yarn? Also is Dollar Tree the only way to get it?

 

OH and the scarf is beautiful!
