A Very Short Scarf
On the recommendation of my friend Salt, I repurposed the blue and green Malabrigo from the Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks scarf that I wasn't happy with for a One Row Scarf, and I have to say it was a very good move. It's actually a very normal length scarf, but when I told my daughter I was making a One Row Scarf she said "That will be a very short scarf if it's only one row".
The colors in the Malabrigo made a very nice diamond pattern except for right at one end where it sort of pooled together in one spot.
This pattern is great. It's simple and adds some visual interest to the yarn without being too busy or complicated. Following Salt's lead, I cast on 34 stitches and knit on size 10 needles. I used just shy of 2 skeins of Lime-Blue Malabrigo worsted weight. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this scarf when I started knitting it, but I had one man in the family that I hadn't decided on a scarf pattern for Christmas yet, and decided this would be a great scarf for him. I didn't feel like modeling the scarf myself, and I didn't figure Dave would go for modeling it for me, so I got Mr. Dog to do it.
I love this scarf. It's so simple and so soft and squishy. Even when I started this scarf, I still thought I would go back to the Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks scarf for my Malabrigo Oro Y Vino yarn, but I've been won over by this pattern and will be making a One Row Scarf with it instead.
