I never talked about it but I’ve been working on this scarf / wrap thing all along. You see, I didn’t want the Felted Foliage hat to out into the world without a partner, so I made a diamond-shaped scarf to keep it company using a very simple stockinette pattern.
Materials and Pattern:
400 yards worsted weight Malabrigo (color shown is Little Lovely)
Size 13 US needles
Cast on 3 stitches.
Knit into front and back (kfb) of first and last stitch of each right side (RS) row.
Purl each wrong side (WS) row.
Continue the RS increases until your knitted fabric is 34″ wide. Purl back, then begin decrease.
On RS, slip slip knit (ssk) the first 2 stitches then knit to last 2 stitches, knitting them together (k2tog).
Purl each wrong side (WS) row.
Continue the RS decreases until your knitted fabric is 64″ long and 3 stitches remain.
Purl back, then bind off (BO) remaining stitches.
Since the beginning and ending stitches are doubled or halved, there is only minimal curling of the edges of this pretty wrap.
All that’s left on the holiday knitting list is a neckwarmer (50% complete), a scarf (just getting started) and two pairs of socks. Depending on how things go in December, the socks may or may not make it in time, however I remain hopeful.
Very nice! You are cruising along on those handknits.
Lovely color choice for the scarf, but I always admire your yarn selections and work. Belated happy Thansgiving wishes, Karen. Be well.
You did a BRILLIANT job knitting up this scarf! These are a perfect match. Good job keeping it a secret too:)
Very pretty set!!
Very elegant! Malabrigo is always so wonderful to knit.
happy Thanksgiving.
that is a beautiful set. and i do love the bright colors. just what we’ll need for the upcoming winter.
Beautiful! It would look great with my wowsa evening dress (which was my wedding dress) during the upcoming Stockholm trip in February (so I will not freeze to death at the gala).
I wondered IF what I spied you knitting was going to be a partner for your hat! GLORIOUS! I am crushing on that color combo—so delish…
Gorgeous color and gorgeous set!
The ensemble is lovely!
(((hugs)))
So feminine! And I love the thought of cheery pink brightening those dreary Chicago winters…
Thanksgiving blessings, twin!
Good job on the holiday knitting. I am in the no handknits for the holidays camp this year. I was not feeling the mojo for it. I have some things for folks but I will give them when I feel like the time is right.
I love the simplicity and elegance of the wrap — and that it is easy! I am going to share this pattern with the Crafty Angels — it will become one of our standards!
Peace,
Chris.
Wow, how lovely is that? Love the two of them together. You have such a wonderful sense of colour, eh?
How lovely that is, especially the whole ensemble together.
Malabrigo is wonderful.
I love it! You know I did! Even if I kept forgetting what the blob was 😉 it’s awesome.
So beautiful!! Makes me want to bust out my Malabrigo.
oh, now arn’t you just so clever!
fabulous!!! and with the hat? stunning!!!

Oooh, what a pretty set!
How delightful to have a knitting friend come to visit & yarn crawl, too. 🙂 Miao!
I like the solid stripes and end. They add some nice dash.
Good progress on gift knitting, especially given your recent disability.
That scarf is so pretty. I love the colors!
