You may remember the beginnings of this scarf here. Well I have managed to get around to finishing it and when I got started to it, it really didn’t take that long. It is knitted in Patons Batik yarn which comes in a variety of multi-coloured shades. The pattern is extremely easy to do with only 15 stitches on size 8mm needles. The pattern is on the ball band and it only takes one ball for the scarf. It is 80% cotton/20% polyester and the high cotton content means that it is lovely and soft and good for a scarf as it means no itchy, scratchy yarn around your neck. The colour range is great and you’ll notice that my choice has some duck egg blue in it (I’m sure I can get some help for this addiction!!).
Now when the autumn eventually arrives I’ll be ready with my new scarf! You’ll notice I said ‘eventually arrives’ as it is not here yet. Now autumn has been mentioned a few times in blogland already this week but I refuse to accept that it’s close. I mean look at the leaves on my tree in the top photo, lovely and green, not autumnal at all. Now don’t get me wrong I do like autumn. I love autumn colours in fact they are my favourite colours (apart from duck egg blue that is) but it has to be at least 6 weeks away!! We have to fit in the Indian Summer first. So we’ll not mention the ‘A’ word here for a few weeks yet. Probably by the time I get round to talking about the ‘A’ word everyone else will be beginning to talk about the ‘C’ word but don’t get me started on that !!!
Anyhow at least I’m ahead of the game for once with my new scarf. 🙂

I love this scarf Vivienne and I too need one! Now before I rush and buy some yarn, tell me is the pattern easy to follow as I am a beginner! I love the bamboo colourway!
Hi Justine.
I promise it is really simple. It’s a rib pattern wrapping the yarn round the needle twice on each stitch on one row and then letting the extra loop drop off on the next so that you get a long stitch. It grows really quickly. Easy peasy! 🙂

Hi Vivienne, This is stunning and you say simple to make! It sounds as if even I, with my lack of knitting experience, could even attempt it. Do you know, I think I might …. I feel inspired! But as you say …. autumn is a long time away yet :0) But we can be ready can’t we!
I am so glad you like my little Bella, she is such a little character!
Have a lovely Sunday :0)

I love seeing how different yarns knit up so thanks for showing your lovely scarf Vivienne. Know I wonder if it comes in dark teal colours?

Hi, thanks so much for your lovely comment! I love the bentwood chair in your last post although to be honest, anything painted in that shade of blue would look fabulous!
Have a great week, x
Hi Jus,
Lovely to have you ‘visit’ and thank you for commenting. I have a real ‘thing’ about duck egg blue I’m afraid!
You have a great week too. 🙂

Your scarf is gorgeous..love the colour choice and the fact it is so soft.I have bought scarves in the past and they have been so scratchy I couldn’t wear them.I hope we do have a bit more Summer to come as we’re off on our hols in two weeks!
Bedllaboo :o)
This scarf is so soft it will be a ‘definite wear’ come the colder weather!
I really hope summer stays for a while, we too have a little trip to London next week for 4 days so I hope it’s nice.
I hope you have a lovely holiday! 🙂
