International Scarf

This is a super easy funky looking scarf. It's not a decorative scarf to wear around all day. It actually has some body to it and keeps you nice and warm in winter due to the wool yarn and has a unique almost halo look about it due to the eyelash / fur type yarn. Be sure to choose two colours that are similar for the best look.

I used Cannes and Brazilia, hence the name. :)

• About 170-180 metres of each of 2 specific types of aran weight yarns - the first should be an all wool or mostly wool smooth or slightly felted yarn, the second an eyelash or fur type yarn in whatever fibre strikes your fancy - I used Cannes in purple and Brazilia in blue.
• Pair of single pointed needles, or a circular, 5.00 or so mm in size (but this is not crucial)

1. Cast on 25 sts with both strands held together.
2. Knit ever row.
3. Stop when you run out of one of the types of yarn.
4. Cast off and work in the ends.
5. You're done!

• I get lots of compliments when I wear this, people say it's really different (in a nice way!). They mean different from the super fluffy eyelash and fur type scarves out there right now that seem to be a dime a dozen. Everyone wants to touch it look at it close up.
• Use stocking stitch instead if you want your scarf to curl into a tube. It'll also be longer than the garter stitch version above.
• If you love contrast, try using contrast yarns instead. I'd love to know how it works out.
