Yinka's Scarf

By
My friend Anna gave me this yarn in 2009, and at first I was stumped as to what to do with it. When my sister-in-law came to visit me after my son was born, I decided to knit a scarf for her to say thank you. She wanted a scarf knit in this yarn. Upon completion I realized the scarf was about 12 feet long! If you would like a super long scarf to wrap around your neck during the cool fall, or drape around your neck when your office airconditioning is too high in the summer, this is the scarf for you. Made with acrylic yarn, this scarf is machine washable, making it very easy to care for. The scarf has now been listed in my Etsy Shop for only $15.

Spring is FINALLY showing up in full force over here. I'm seeing flower petals floating along on the (STRONG) winds we've been having here in the Bay Area. To celebrate this change of seasons, here is a free pattern for a scarf that I designed last year. I called it Colliding Stars after my friend Melissa, who owns a calligraphy and design business called...you guessed it - Colliding Stars . She saw the initial sample of this scarf that I knit in some random green yarn I had in my stash. (Funny story - I bought the yarn from a fellow Ravelrer who had dyed it a bright neon green. I took it and overdyed the scarf a dark green, but I think I agitated the yarn too much so it had this sort of semi-felted look to it. Pretty interesting). Anyway, here are a few pictures of the initial Colliding Stars scarf, and the pattern follows. You can download a pdf version of the pattern here or on Ravelry . Colliding Stars Denise A. F.
