(Anastasia is in bed with a really bad cold. This craft project first appeared on the blog six years ago.)
Scarves have
been a huge fashion accessory for several years now. Women (and many men) wear
them year round, even in the heat of summer. However, this time of year we wear
them not so much as a fashion statement but to keep our necks warm. It’s cold
out there, people!
Because
knitting has also seen a resurgence in popularity over the last few years,
there are many fashion-inspired yarns on the market and not just in the swanky,
expensive knitting shops. You can find them in any craft store and even some big
box stores.
Scarves are
an easy beginner project for the novice knitter. You don’t need to worry about
exacting measurements or following complex instructions. You can make it as
wide or narrow, as long or short as you want, and if you choose a bulky yarn
and large knitting needles, you can whip up a simple scarf in an evening.
This scarf is
made with glitter fringe yarn, but you can choose any bulky yarn that catches
your eye. Adjust your width and length as desired and buy additional skeins if
you want a wider or longer scarf.
Note: Some
yarns contain dye lots. If there is a dye lot on the label, always buy skeins
with the same dye lot number.

I have a coat that would go great with that scarf. Please tell Anastasia to drink lots of tea and chicken soup. I hope she feels better soon!
Thanks, Angela! I'm feeling much better.
