The 200 Yard Scarf Knitalong

by Iris

This knitalong was just started a few days ago, when I posted a photo of this scarf blocking on the Artyarns Facebook Page:

It uses an antique edging from 1900, and I jazzed it up with some short rows to turn it into a crescent-shaped scarf.   I used Ensemble Light doubled, color H30 to make the first one:

Then because my mom wanted it, I made another in Ensemble Light doubled color H31, purple, and this is my go-to scarf this winter.  I love the way it wraps around the neck like an open cowl.

How can you get this pattern?  It is only available as a knitalong. Here’s how you participate.  Post a photo of the Artyarns yarn you will be using on this Ravelry Pattern Page by hitting “Cast On” then adding a photo to your project.  I will send you Part 1 by private message on Ravelry.  After you knit Part 1, you will post a photo of that, and I will send you Part 2 by private message.  Again post a photo of Part 2, and you will get the last part, Part 3.

If you block it and post a photo of your finished scarf, I will send you a gift, a free copy of the Ocean Dancer Shawl pattern.

Here are some photos of the beautiful completed scarves–this is a short project (only 200 yards), and many have completed it in just a few days:

Someone already made a second version out of the Shawl for All Seasons Kit, Red Carpet colorway, and it looks beautiful:

 

Join us for the knitalong.  You need any Artyarns yarn to participate.  I used Ensemble Light doubled.  You can use Rhapsody Light doubled, Silk Rhapsody (single), Ensemble (single), Supermerino (single), or other combinations.
