Ruffle scarf

 

            Knit up a ruffle scarf

 

An amazing new yarn is available that creates ruffles with a minimum of effort. If you know the basics of how to knit, this scarf can be stitched up in less than 2 hours. The self-ruffling yarn, found at specialty knitting supply stores, is a type of netting that is pulled apart during the knitting process. Watch the video to see exactly how it is done. An added benefit is that the ruffled knitting cast-on is super easy.

SUPPLIES

1 skein self-ruffling yarn

Two size 10 knitting needles

Pull apart a strand of yarn with your fingers and insert the knitting needles into the top edge of the yarn strand to create 8 stitches.

Knit every row, pulling the yarn strand apart and inserting the needles in the top edge of the netting. The process is not precise, but each stitch will be about one inch from the previous stitch.

Cast off.
