In Knitting, My designs

 Introducing “Square Deal Scarf”

I am so pleased with this design because it ticks off all my must-have boxes for a scarf:

  • It’s unisex, looking just as good on men as on women (as my handsome model demonstrates).
  • It’s reversible, wrap it any way you choose and it still looks good.
  • It is sized to look good hanging down for Fall style, or wrapped around your neck and face for Winter warmth.
  • It’s easy to knit, but still engaging enough not to be boring.

As scarves go, this is the real deal – a square deal! 

This is also the first time my grandson has modeled for me – he did a great job as you can see by the photo above and the others on the pattern page and on the Ravelry page.

I made the sample for this scarf out of Juniper Moon Farm “Moonshine” (40% alpaca, 40% wool, 20% silk). But this scarf works well is all sorts of yarns, so I want to show off some of the terrific projects that my Ravelry test knitters made. Interestingly, everybody finished their scarf quite quickly. It is one of those designs that engages you and makes you want to keep going to finish another square.

This bright and cheerful version of Square Deal Scarf was made by Ravelry knitter “Arashinta” in Red Heart Baby Hugs Medium. She enjoyed knitting it so much that she is already planning a second!
“Lucias” used Sandes Yarn Perfect in a dark grey for her husband’s scarf. Her young son said he thought the design looked like “Minecraft” – which I have to admit I have no idea what that is! I must be out of the loop!
A lovely neutral color of The Fibre Co. Cumbria is what “Needtoknit1” chose to knit her scarf. She put the pattern into her Knit Companion to bring on vacation with her. (By the way – that is glass in her firepit – pretty neat!)
And of course Malabrigo yarn makes such a soft, cozy scarf! “Carolsumie” used Malabrigo Rios in a beautiful color called “Sandbank”.
And finally, I wanted to show you a sample of a scarf in progress – to show how it contrasts with the final blocked versions above. “Noreen1009” knit her soft salmon-colored scarf with Berroco Vintage.
