Friday Freebie Scarves

Not that I'm a big scarf knitter - only 2 in my knitting career - but I know they are popular, especially this time of year! They have a reputation for being tedious knits about mid-way through so I tried to select patterns that hopefully will keep your attention and enthusiasm for the entire knit!



This Cable Twist Scarf and Hat set from Lion Brand is a great way to finally master cable knits. What a great showcase for your handspun (3-ply for good stitch definition) or a soft semi-solid indie dyed yarn!



This Firefly Scarf from Classic Elite is a lovely showcase for silk yarn or maybe a fine linen blend so you can wear it year-round as an accessory. Of course you could always knit it in a lovely wool or wool blend and enjoy it all winter too!



This gorgeous Alpaca Lace Scarf also from Classic Elite is also a great showcase for your handspun lace weight or maybe even something a little heavier like sport weight. Add a few repeats width-wise and length-wise and you'd have a lovely wrap instead!



This simple and sweet Awareness Scarf, also from Classic Elite would be a fairly fast project. I can't help but think that a cashmere or angora in a blend would make this a real treasure!
Hopefully one of these will entice you to do a little stash-dipping. There's always a special skein tucked away waiting for a "certain yardage" project. Enjoy!
