Leftover Scarf
Anything goes in this fun scarf. Use up your stash, all your leftovers are welcomed here, in about 15 yards portions, don't hold back! This about 120" in length scarf works up in no time at all. Suitable for the very beginner, though fun for even the advanced knitter. That also means you may forget about gauge here, so be light hearted with this project and just let loose. Knitted entirely in garter stitch with fun add ons like fringes, tie ins in random spaces of pieces of fabrics, ribbons and novelty yarns.
Yarn:
A yarn cake by www.yarnz2GO.com with a bit more then 200 yards. Also included in this kit are numerous strips of fabric, ribbons and yarns with shiny paillettes. Alternatively you can use your stash and literally everything goes. 15 yard portions of each yarn in any color choice, texture and yarn weight. From lace, fingering, sock, DK, worsted, aran and bulky. The more texture, the better. So go ahead and use up your novelty yarns.
Notions:
US size 19 (15mm) straight or circular needle.
Getting started:
Cast on 13 sts and work in garter stitch (knit every stitch and every row) adding a different yarn about every 10" or 15 yards until you either run out of yarn or have reached the desired length. You can embellish by adding strips about 13" in length of silk ribbons, fabric strips at random if you like by knotting them where it suits you. Add a fringe, either a full one or just one at each tip left and right side of scarf. Have fun with it! You can't do wrong with this easy, yet so fun and effective way of designing a truly unique piece from your leftovers.
