Seawave Scarf

Wow, it’s been a few months since my last posting. I’ve finally got back to my busy crafting schedule and complete my projects. :-)

I bought this amazing Touch yarn during my last trip to New Zealand and have been looking for the right scarf pattern for it.

I’ve finally found the perfect one.

This pattern was from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. The pattern is called Seawave.

Flirty Daisy Flounce Scarf

I love this pattern so much!

Very recommended to try this, my recommendation is to use a short 3.0mm needle, as you have to turn A LOT!

Initially I used 35cm 3.0mm needles and my arms movement wasn’t very smooth. I immediately changed to 3.00mm circular needle (because I don’t have short 3.0mm needles) and I can feel the rhythm improved.

The yarn is DROPS Kid Silk. I don’t need to say more about this yarn, such gorgeous high quality yarn. The shade that I used is Pearl Grey.

It might take a while to finish this, but trust me, it’s so worth it.

Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

Embrace Kid Silk Luxurious Wrap

I bought this DROPS Kid Silk yarns by mistake.

It’s a fortunate mistake indeed, just look at this beautiful shade of purple. J

I remembered I knitted this gorgeous wrap for a friend and I really like the pattern, check out this free pattern from Garnstudio, so I knitted a scaled down version of it using this Kid Silk yarn.

The lace leaves pattern is just beautiful, and so addictive once you get the hang of it!

Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

Personally, I like this wrap a little bit narrow, so I adjusted the pattern to reduce 1 repetition of the lace leaves. (Cast on 93 stitches instead of 107)

Bamboo Patterned Scarf

This is another scarf that I knitted at very early stage of my knitting journey.
I was definitely tempted by the look of this bamboo pattern.

Work on multiple of 2 sts + 1 edge st on each side.

Row 1 - K1 (edge st), *yarn forward, K2, pass increased st over knitted sts*, repeat from * to * until last st and K1 on the last st (edge).

Row 2 - Purl

Continue on this pattern until desired length.

Effortless Beauty Scarf

Hi Everyone, I knitted this scarf a few years ago and this is a really easy pattern to try.
Highly recommend this for anyone starting their knitting journey.

This scarf is basically a 3x 3 block pattern.

The yarn that I used is Sirdar Denim Ultra. Awesome colour and great for beginners as it is thick and easy to handle.

Needle size is 10mm (as recommended on the yarn label)

3x3 block:

Row 1 - K3, P3, K3, P3

Row 2 - P3, K3, P3, K3

Row 3 - K3, P3, K3, P3

Row 4 - K3, P3, K3, P3 

Row 5 - P3, K3, P3, K3

Row 6 - K3, P3, K3, P3

Row 1-6 formed a pattern.

First, cast on 16 stitches. Work 2 garter st, 3x3 block pattern above and finish with 2 garter st. 

Continue like this until your preferred length.

Mossy Baby Beanie

What is the best thing to knit when you’re out and about in public transport? Baby beanies of course!!

That’s exactly what I did, using a few remains of Patons Flair that I have, I knitted up these cute little beanies.

The band is made of moss stitch. That is K1, P1 from right side and K on P, P on K on wrong side. It’s a simple pattern resulting in cute and fascinating texture.

Yarn is very easy to work with, brilliant combination of material too, Mohair, Wool, and Nylon.

 

I also attempted to make one of those threaded scarf, where the one end of the scarf has a hole, so you can thread the other end into it.

It turned out as I wanted, and I love this beautiful soft blue shade.

Available for purchase in my MadeIt store.

Kid Silk Scarf and Wrist Warmer

This is the second project that I worked on to use up kid silk yarn.

Finally I decided to make something for myself!! Didn’t realise that I’ve been making stuff for others for a while now. So, this is the first project for myself this year :-) so happy.

The scarf pattern is a bit confusing at the beginning, because the photo on Garnstudio website doesn’t show the pattern on the mid section of the scarf. I thought the mid part will be plain stocking stitch or rib stitch. However, I enjoyed knitting the scarf, I even continued making the wrist warmer which I didn’t plan before.

The yarn is amazingly warm, although it doesn’t look so.
