Essential Striped Scarf
This scarf came about after I discovered the incredible Pepperberry Knits Mini Skein Fun Size Bundles. They are not quite enough to make a full scarf, so I also bought a full skein in a harmonious color. I was really looking to make a self indulgent, special yet practical scarf, but the result is just too good to keep for myself.
Of course you can make this scarf in any yarn that you have - the size is easy to adjust - but why not go for the soft and fluffy cashmere?
This scarf is knit in a lattice stitch. Videos of basic lattice knitting techniques can be found online here. Though it is a light and open stitch the cashmere blooms nicely and fills the holes while preserving the interesting texture of the stitches The fringes are made of i-cords giving them a bit of body and a fun unconventional look.
Since each Fun Size Bundle is slightly different, color order is not important, I just tried to mix the colors up as much as possible.
