I love making something pretty (and practical) that doesn't cost a lot of cash...
This is my
Lacy Scarf knit with two strands of
Patons Classic Wool in Cognac Heather and 8mm (US11) needles. I used only one skein (210 yd / 192 m) by knitting the inside and outside strands together on 15sts; it's a quick and thrifty scarf, even more so if you make it in a less expensive yarn that the classic wool.
Final size is 5” x 56” / 12.7cm x 142cm after smooshing with the steam iron...
For the crocheters we have another
Claudia Scarf made from 2 skeins of
Sugar 'n Cream in Countryside...
I started with 22 sts. and size 4.5mm (G hook). Size after smooshing is 4-1/2” x 60” / 11.5cm x 152 cm...

It's all about the peanuts...
The rooftops are frosty in the morning and it's definitely scarf weather, so I'll wrap my new woolly creation around me and have a wee walkabout. I hope you have a peaceful week, dear reader.
