Mini Star Scarf Pattern
I've added brighter 100% Merino centres to some of the stars to lift the darker colouring of the sock yarn, but you might like the darker look or just use a lighter sock yarn..lots to pick from and some are supper soft too.
l blocked the first few l made to see how soft it was going to be after washing
so you can see how they open up a bit when blocked (right hand side)
Not sure l've got the patience but it might make a pretty jacket

JOIN AS YOU GO
Use the second of the ch3 sts, as a sl st to join the next star to the first repeat joining on 2 points in a row of 12 or more stars, then add stars to both sides of the middle row
NOTES: For this Star Scarf l used Gruendl Hot sock yarn and 100% merino in a plain colour for the centres and a slightly bigger 4mm hook than recommended but l tried the 3mm hook and it made the stars a bit firmer than l wanted
some might prefer the firmer feel though
Have a Marvellous Monday everyone

Suz, it has been awhile since I have visited your pages and all I can say is WOW to all you have been up to. This pattern is just lovely as are all the previous flowers and projects. My, how do you do it all, you got some elves tucked away somewhere? I do like your new layout, it does make past posts a lot handier to skim through. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSuz, that is just YUMMY!!!! Happy day to you my friend way across the pond!!

I keep trying to leave a cooment and they just disappear!
ReplyDeleteHa! That one got through!!!!! I just spent ages telling you about my failure to make a knitted rope with a knitting nancy doll this afternoon at Annie's. We giggled but I thought - I bet Sue would have a way to do this in seconds. I think we need a web cam!! x Jo
ReplyDeleteOhh, that's beautiful Suz. Like the colours you use very much. I have made your star pattern in white with a little silver yarn, lovely too but different.
ReplyDeleteMake it as a cristmas present for my mother, seven stars to hang down for the window.
Have a lovely evening, greetings Truus.
Again congratulations for the beautiful and original color combinations!! I follow very happy in your new publications.
