Use those scraps and make the Scrappy Scarf!

Do you love a good scrap buster? If so, this Scrappy Scarf will be perfect for you.

By scraps I mean those skeins where you have used part of them for another project but didn’t need the whole skein. 

 

 

Yes, I used my scraps to design this!

I started 2021 with every intention of using up my scraps throughout the year. I started off well enough but unfortunately I couldn’t keep it up for various reasons outside of Sunflower. 

Have you noticed that I used my part used skeins from the Shades of Spring afghan to create this scarf? And it is just so pretty!

 

I turned my scarf into an infinity scarf, but you don’t have to.

 

 

Although this one is, I think, more of a feminine texture you could use manly colours just for him. Maybe it is the colours I have used that makes me think of it more as a female scarf? I am going to design another one with a more masculine feel to it very soon!

Designed for any size part skein

As long as you have approximately 20 yards or more in your part skein this scarf should work out just fine! You can see that some of my sections are way bigger than others because the amounts I had varied.

 

 

Go and raid your scrap bucket (making sure you get the same weight yarn scraps!) and come back for the pattern. I have written this one for #4 weight yarn (aran in the UK), but you can use #3 weight (DK) or #5 weight (chunky) if you have more of those.

Not important for this project as you are using your scraps – just be sure to use scraps of the same weight yarn!

completing a full row.

 

 

Row 4 –           Turn, ch1 (does not count as a st), sc in each st across.

Row 5 –           Grab your next part skein of yarn 

Attach your yarn to your work (in the last st you just made)

Row 6 –           Repeat row 2. When you have approximately 18 inches of your scrap yarn left after completing a full row move to row 7.
