Just when it was getting into warmer Summer weather here in Queensland, we’ve had a cold snap. Perfect timing for me to wear my newest scarf!
It was made by a lovely lady from our church craft group. It is beautiful!
I’d love to share more details about how to make it, but, sorry, I can’t. I can tell you it is knitted. The yarn is a special type that sort of pulls open to create a woven texture. It is very soft and silky. I think Miss V said it is imported from Italy, but don’t quote me on that one. I’ll have to find out.
Miss V is hoping to sell these online next year, so I’ll be sure to let you know when she has them online.
Help me out: Does anyone know that name of this yarn? I know one of my clever readers is sure to recognise it!
What a beautiful scarf! Sorry I’m no help as to the type of yarn – not a knitter myself – but it does look lovely!
Hope it warms up for you soon – the weather’s gone a bit crazy! We’re getting 39C here!
Thanks Jill. We had some hot days here but now they are cool again – very strange Summer!
This is so pretty. I really love the colors they chose.
Thanks! They were all so pretty that it was hard to choose.
I don’t know the name of it but I can tell you it was the rage at the craft shows this year! Especially at the Canberra Stitches and Craft Show!
I think Miss V found it at the Brisbane craft show, which of course I didn’t make it too. Maybe next year?
Your scarf is gorgeous – I love the blue shades! I made one in soft baby pink and love the feel when wearing it. The wool I used was called Can-Can Yarn. It is knitted using a slightly different knitting technique to normal, but is very easy to knit and grows so fast!
Oh, I wonder if that’s what she used? It sound like it. Pink sounds lovely.
Did you get the pattern off the internet ? can you link it ? or the name of the pattern/style of knitting? i want to make one for my mum
I have a link to the tutorial for knitting one of these ruffle scarves on my blog. You can access it here: http://www.crafty-friends.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/knitting-scarf.html
Thanks so much, Karen. You’ll have to share a picture of yours when you finish it, Zoe.
It might be Elicia yarn from Lincraft?
I’ve seen it but haven’t used it yet.
Have a look here…

How weird is it to watch man’s hands knitting!? lol
Thanks Thea. I saw some similar in Spotlight this morning too.
It is kind of weird to see “man hands” knitting isn’t it? Most tutorials I’ve seen have been by women.
I made a blogged one back in August. All the details are on my blog here http://craftsmumship.com/2011/08/knitted-tape-ruffle-scarf/
The name of the yawn is sashay by Red Heart. You can use knitting needles or a Crochet needle.
