The Kylie Head & Neck Scarf is a super-quick knit accessory. I designed this for my beautiful niece, when she admired the Versatility Head & Neck Scarf. Then after I finished hers (the prototype), I decided to scale it to a wider option as well. I also decided to add a closed-circle/head-or-neckband option - for those of us who like the hands-free things in the world. If you have never created i-cord edging or cabled - give a Kylie a try. Only 7-12 cables are completed in the whole project (for an adult-sized project), and the tails and edges are i-cord, so it’s a great, low-commitment way to try them out.

As with my other Head & Neck scarves, Kylie starts with an i-cord tail/tie, increases to a desired width, and is worked flat to the desired length; decrease back to the i-cord stitch-count, and finish the other i-cord tail/tie. If you want to make this a band, you omit the i-cord on the other side and graft the tip of the i-cord tail already completed to the base of the decrease.

This project is excellent for scraps and minis - the two adult-sized projects shown used only 80-100 yards (around 20 grams) of yarn!
