Couldn't resist the Aretha Franklin nod on this one! Thanks for indulging me...
My cousins twins will be going off to college in the next few days, wow can't believe they are ready for that, remember when they were born, cute little girls, one looked like her granddad the other like her dad, boy my cousin did all the work! I digress anyway....
I promised them scarves in their school colors for graduation. Obviously this one is for the Carolina Girl...(getting ready to cast on for the Davidson Girl)
Saw the chain scarf in the book "LOOP-D-LOOP by Teva Durham many years ago, been in my mind since then. Used the idea to do my own thing!Been wanting to do this chain scarf for along time and this was the girl to do it for!
THE LOW DOWN OF THIS BEAUTY!
Yarn: Cascade Yarns "Cloud 9"
2 balls #176 - 1 ball #101
Needles: #9----9" Circular
12" Circular
16" Circular
CO---Can't tell ya, because I cast on enough stitches each time to get it in the round. I didn't take notes and each time I'm sure it was different....my apologizes
You knit one link and bind off. Cast on for the next link, once you are cast on insert one end of the needle through the link you just knit making sure stitches are NOT twisted and then start knitting in the round, do this for all subsequent links, when you are done all you have to do is needle weave the ends from each link into them. NO sewing together!
I did however knit each link about 3" to 31/2". They will naturally curl so I just let them! The size and color combination of the links are totally and completely random. I just knit what I felt....Ravelry has a pattern for something similar if you need complete instructions or you can find my inspiration in Teva Durhams' book Loop-d-Loop. Fun, quick and easy! The kind of knitting I like.
Knit on my friends!!!!
***Doing some charity knitting(see previous blog "Charity Knitting....To knit or not to knit") so my blogging and knitting have taken a backseat***
