Luxurious Eyelash Scarf


This scarf may look difficult but it's really so simple to knit. The fancy eyelash yarn hides the fact that it is a basic garter stitch scarf! Every row is knitted the same. You can knit up the scarf using different needle sizes, we have it shown knitted with a size 8 needle for a dense and full look. Using a size 13 will make the scarf lacier in appearance because the stitches will be larger.


Level: Beginner

Size:

Width: 4 inches (unstretched)
Length: 4 feet long (as shown)

Yarn: Black Eyelash yarn [100% acrylic; 70 yd per 50g ball]; 3 balls

Needles: 1 set US # 8/ 5mm straight needles OR 1 set US #13/ 9 mm straight needles

Gauge: 20st/28 rows = 4 inches (US #8/ 5mm needles)
OR 10 st/ 16 rows = 4 inches (US #13/ 9mm needles)


Pattern Notes:

The scarf in the pictures is shown knitted with size 8 needles for a dense and full look.
Use size 13 needles to make the scarf lacier in appearance. Knitting with bigger needles but maintaining the same width means less stitches and will knit up faster.

Use US #8/ 5 mm needles.
CO 20 st.
K every row (Garter stitch).

BO stitches and sew in tails.


For a Lacier Scarf:
