The Blanche Scarf

These scarves are sooo much fun to make.  Its hard to see in the picture but it has over 30 different yarns.  I used a size 17 circular needle, cast on 120 stitches, knit for a row or 2 then tie in the next yarn.  You'd be surprised at the colors you can put together!  This one is mostly neutrals with a few blacks and colors thrown in.  I've used wools, synthetics, metallics ...........a little bit of everything .....the more colors and textures the more interesting I think.  Just keep knitting until its a wide as you want then bind off.  I cut fringe pieces 12" using all different yarns and looped them on the ends and along one side.  I wore it to a Christmas party over a gray knit dress and used a big glittery pin to hold it in place.  Of course the color combos are endless!
