Carmen Scarf

This is a thick, warm scarf made for Canadian winters. I used double strands of soft, textured bulky weight yarn.

This was a request by my daughter for a Christmas gift in 2004. She chose the yarn and colours. Great choices to go with her faux suede / shearling coat!

• About 115 metres of each of 2 bulky weight yarns in coordinating colours - I used 4 balls of Paton's Carmen in brown and camel
• Pair of single pointed needles, or a circular, 8.00 mm (needle size is not crucial, so long as the fabric's not too stiff)

1. With 2 strands held together (one of each colour), cast on 20 sts.
2. Knit every row.
3. Stop when you run out of one colour of yarn.
4. Cast off, work in the ends and that's it!
5. Finished size is about 7.75 inches by 42 inches (20 by 105 cm).

• You don't want to go too big with the needle size, as the scarf fabric will be too open and not as warm.
• Using stocking st instead of garter will give you a longer scarf, but it will tend to curl into a long tube.
• Be sure to rest your hands regularly as working with large needles can be tiring.
