Seed Stitch Scarf



This is a really easy scarf to make. What makes it look so special is the yarn that you use and knitting it in seed stitch*. First, you would use the fun fur yarn to cast on about 15 stitches. I then knit in seed stitch for about 4 rows, then switched off to my really beautiful ribbon yarn for about 4 rows of seed stitch using only the ribbon yarn. Then I alternated each one more time. The middle part of the scarf, I used only the fun fur yarn. I used 3 skeins of fun fur and about 1 skein of a really pretty luna ribbon yarn. When the scarf reaches your desired length, you alternate the two rows of ribbon yarn once more. Final touches are sew in your edges and then using a crochet hook, loop in pieces of your two yarns and some silk ribbon in a coordinating color. This scarf took me about 1 day to complete.


I'm working on a pink/black version now, using a really fun citrus colored ribbon yarn.


*seed stitch - alternate knit, purl stitches and finish with one knit stitch. Your last stitch each row must be a knit.
