While it’s true that eyelash yarns aren’t as popular as they once were, still there are definitely some occasions that merit the use of this fancy and frilly fiber. This is one of the simplest and easy scarf kitting patterns that uses 2 different kinds of eyelash yarn. However, you can also choose to combine 2 of the same yarn for a quick knitting project. This scarf is perfect to use if you want to lighten up a gray day.

You’ll need:

1. Approximately 220 yards each of two varying eyelash yarns (one fine, another bulky) OR 2 of the same kind of yarn (in any color you prefer)

2. A pair of size 10 and a half US needles

3. Crochet hook and scissors

Gauge: is not that critical but in this pattern I got 8 rows per inch and 4 stitches in garter stitch.

Size: the end product is 72 inches long and 5 inches wide

Let’s start!

1. Begin by casting on 20 stitches while holding both yarns together.

2. Work in garter stitch while holding both yarns together throughout or until you reach 72 inches.

3. Bind off then cut yarn. Don’t forget to weave in ends!

Some tips while working on this pattern:

1. If you want a skinnier scarf, you can choose to cast on 10 inches instead of 20. You should be able to get a finished piece with a nice length with approximately 150 yards of yarn.

2. To make things simpler for you, use a crochet hook while working on this pattern.

If you are bored with the same old scarf knitting patterns, here’s one that will surely delight you. The farrow rib pattern is quite interesting with its combination of purls and knits to make thin and thick ribs. This pattern looks a bit more interesting than the more basic stockinette or garter stitch. It looks very elegant and fancy; people wouldn’t know that it’s a cinch to make. You can give it as a nice gift for family, friends, or even your co-workers. It can be the perfect gift for the man in your life.

This particular pattern is worked on one stitch plus multiples of three. If you want to make modifications on the size, you’ll have to do a bit of math.

You’ll need:

1. Approximately 300 yards of 100 percent acrylic mohair-look yarn
2. Size 10 US needles
3. To weave in ends, use a crochet hook or a sewing needle

Let’s start!

1. Begin by casting on 28 stitches using your preferred cast on (the manner in which you put stitches on the needle) technique.

2. Row 1: *knit two, purl one. Repeat the process from * up to the last stitch, then knit one.

3. Row 2: purl one, *knit two, purl one. Repeat the process from *to the end.

4. Repeat the process for pattern until you’re almost running out of yarn.

5. Bind off, and don’t forget to cut off any excess yarn. This will leave you with a few inches of material to weave in. You can use a yarn needle or crochet hook.
