Scarves

Cables & Lace Scarf
Pretty cables & delicate lace combined with a nice edge stitch make a nice, warm winter scarf.

Yarn: 240 yards light-worsted DK yarn.  Model knit with Meriboo from Frog Tree Yarns (2 balls).
Needles: Size US 6

Compinche del Cuello
The name of this scarf is the result of combining a quiet Saturday afternoon with some creative online translating.  It was supposed to mean "Neck Buddy".  But I don't think it does.  In any case, it's a nice, warm, long, chunky lace alpaca scarf.

Yarn: 2 100 gram skeins of  Chunky Baby Alpaca from Misti Alpaca or Alpaca Grande from Plymouth
Needles:  Size US 13 

Cravat Style Block Scarf
This is the perfect scarf pattern for beginning knitters because both knit & purl stitches are used equally, but it's a nice classic style for knitters of all abilities.

Yarn:  250 yards worsted weight yarn
Needles:  Size US 9 - 10

Diagonal Scarf
Self-striping yarn adds interest to this simple scarf.  Can be knit either in Stockinette or Garter stitch.

Yarn:  150 - 300 yards self-patterning worsted weight yarn
Needles:  Size US 9 - 10

Fuzzy Lace Scarf
This pattern was written for Merino Frappe or Merino Stripes from Crystal Palace Yarns, but it would work well for any other chunky/fuzzy yarn.

Yarn:  1 skein Merino Stripes or Merino Frappe, approximately 120 yards
Needles: Size US 11

Garter Striped Scarf
Super-chunky yarn knit the long way makes this a quick, super-warm scarf.

Yarn:  Super chunky yarn such as Burly Spun in 3 colors, approxiately 90 yards each
Needles:  Size US 13 circular needle, 24" or longer

Lacey Keyhole Scarf
This lovely little scarf is a great excuse to knit with Silky Merino from Malabrigo, and it takes just one skein.

Yarn:  One 50 gram skein Silky Merino from Malabrigo
Needles:  Size US 6

Lacey Scarf
This is one of my favorite lace patterns.  A four row repeat that's easy to memorize, yet interesting and fun to knit.  I've knit it with both a lace weight mohair as well as a fingering weight yarn.

Yarn: 200+ yards Kid Merino or fingering weight yarn.
Needles:  Size 5 - 8, depending on yarn choice

Mistake Rib Scarf
Another beginner-friendly pattern that makes a lovely, sproingy scarf.

Yarn:  225 - 250 yards worsted weight  yarn
Needles:  Size US 11

Ribbon Scarf
A pretty, quick to knit accent scarf.

Yarn:  100+ yards ribbon yarn
Needles:  Size US 15

Ruffled Scarf
An easy pattern featuring cushy ridges and ruffles at the end.

Yarn:  210 yards soft, worsted weight yarn such as Suri Merino from Plymouth, Frog Tree Merino Melante, or Malabrigo Merino Worsted.
Needles:  US size 8

Suri de Araña
This scarf's name is once again the result of some creative online translating and general naming-boredom.  Suri is the type of alpaca used, and I just think Araña is a pretty word.  It means Spider in Spanish.  While it might not make sense literally, I think it's a pretty sounding name, don't you?  Suri de Araña.  Just imagine Antonio Banderas saying it:  Suri de Araña.

Extra-long and rather wide, but light and lacey enough to be worn doubled or
wrapped around and around as a lovely feminine scarf.

Yarn:  Brushed Suri from Frog Tree Yarns, two skeins
Needles:  Size US 9

Three Cable Scarf
This scarf is a great way to practice some basic cables.

Yarn:  100 grams (approx. 200 yards) worsted weight  yarn
Needles:  Size US 9

Waves Scarf
This scarf is one of my favorite stitch patterns, Feather & Fan, knit lengthwise on a long circular needle. 

Yarn: Approximately 100 yards each of three colors of worsted weight yarn
Needles:  Size US 8 Circular, at least 24" long.
