All Ruffled Up

If you haven't yet made a ruffle scarf using sashay yarn, you really should. They knit up so quickly and are so fun and easy to make. I love the feel and drape of these scarves, and they would be a great project for younger girls. You really can't go wrong with them!

And they're so pretty!

All you need is a loom with at least 4 pegs, a knitting tool, and sashay yarn. You can use a small knitting spool, a large gauge Knifty Knitter loom, or a smaller gauge loom like the Martha Stewart Lion Brand loom set.

For the scarves pictured, I used the large end of the Knifty Knitter knitting spool. The scarf builds around the outside of the spool, so there's no need to feed the yarn down the center.

Make sure to stretch the lace out as you work it to get the fullest ruffle.

To cast on, put ever third loop on a peg, continuing in the round. Knit off when you have two loops on one peg. Continue this way, using every third loop, until you have only a few inches of yarn left. Finish by using the basic bind-off method, and tuck in any remaining yarn.

It's that easy!

Do you have ideas for other uses projects using sashay yarn? I'd love to read about them in the comments!
