DESIGNED BY CDR


I have named this design a California scarf . . . it doesn't keep you warm but it really looks amazing! And it is really easy. If you can cast on, knit and cast off, you can do it.

Needed:
I used left over scraps of yarn from other projects in assorted colors
Size 8 circular knitting needles (16 inches)
Yarn darning needle to weave in ends
Scissors

Cast on 76 stitches in desired color.
Join the ends together making certain your stitches are not twisted on the needle.
Continue knitting for 6 rows (scarf will begin to curl onto itself).
Cast off all stitches. This ends your first link in the chain.

Cast on 76 stitches in different color.
Stick needle through first link and join ends.
Continue repeating these steps as above until your scarf is the desired length.
Weave in yarn ends with your darning needle and your done.

All that's left to do is throw it in the washer for some mechanical felting and it will be gorgeous (as long as you use 100% wool it will felt up beautifully).

We Roderick's love easy patterns and this one looks so good with a cute blazer and jeans.
