I had some left over DK wool after designing my Adult ribbed bobble hat so I thought I would make a scarf to match. I wanted to have long stripes for easy colour work and to give it a long, flowing feel. This scarf can be easily adapted to suit you as you can make it as long or short as you wish. I have just put how many stitches I used but it can easily be shortened to make a great kids scarf or longer if you like to be able to repel down a second story window using it! The use of the textured ribbing and front and back loop crochet makes it a very soft and squishy scarf. I haven’t made it too wide because I sometimes find very wide scarves too bulky with my fitted jackets.
This is a great project that you can just get going and not think too much about. It is also good for a beginner who wants to try using more textured stitches in their work and wants a project that they can work up quickly and wear anytime.
