I found this yarn at a local fibre festival and was taken by how this mini-skein palette perfectly replicates a prairie sunset.
It’s a great pattern for a mini-skein set and full skein of fingering weight yarn.
Please feel free to use this pattern for charity knitting.
Materials
• Yarn:
o 1 skein of Smash Knits Super Sock in Fraser’s Ridge Colourway (85% superwash merino, 15% nylon; 100gmis is 400m/437 yds, fingering weight, 4-ply yarn)
o 1 mini-skein set of Smash Knits in Prairie Bouquet colourway (75% superwash merino, 20% nylon, 5% stellina; 15 grams 60m/ 66 yds per mini-skein)
o Other yarn options: There are many options available. As it is an accessory rather than a fitted garment, there is a bit of flexibility when selecting fibre to complete this project. Any yarn of a comparable weight and tension could work well with this pattern. You could use yarn from your favourite indie-dyer, handspun yarn, or fibre from your local fibre festivals of a comparable weight.
• Tapestry needle, scissors
• Stitch marker
• 4mm (US 6), or needles that will match your yarn choice
Sizing
The scarf measures about 175cm (69 inches) long by 22cm (8.6 inches) wide. One size fits most.
Tension
10cm/4in = 20 stitches after blocking. As this is an accessory rather than a fitted garment, tension can be rather flexible.
Pattern Notes
This scarf is knit using 2 strands of yarn held together. Looking at the mini-skein set you have chosen to use, decide on a sequence of your colours. Then, starting with the first skein, you will hold it together with your main skein. As one mini-skein runs out, join the next mini-skein, and continue, until you have finished your scarf. The pattern is a seeded rib pattern with a garter stitch border, making a lovely reversible pattern.
