Tie a beautiful scarf with knitting needles

Products that are easier to make than knitted onesscarf simply no! Indeed: cast on the number of stitches for the desired width of the scarf, and then knit straight to the desired length. It is actually easy. Easy, but not simple! It is not easy to knit a beautiful scarf with knitting needles. Why? Because beauty is a relative concept, and what one person likes may not cause the same delight in another. However, originality is always beyond competition. And it does not matter how this originality is manifested in your scarf: coloring, pattern, knitting technique or the model of the scarf itself. The main thing is that it is unusual, bold (or even daring!) and beautiful. Therefore, let's consider several options for the original execution of a hand-knitted women's scarf.

Option one. Scarf-spiral

Or, as it is also called:wave scarf, boa scarf. The main thing here is not the knitting pattern, not the type of yarn and not the color of the finished scarf. The main thing in a boa scarf is the originality of the model and the technique of execution. A spiral scarf is solemnity, splendor, festivity ... It looks like an exquisite lace jabot, and an airy boa made of exotic feathers, and just a scarf (but very original). How to knit a spiral scarf with knitting needles? Cast on twenty-four loops on the knitting needles, knit the first row: edge, eleven front and twelve back. Then knit according to the pattern:

first row: one edge, one cape, one facial, one cape, eight facial ones, one is taken off as the back to the right knitting needle, we stretch the thread forward between the knitting needles, we return the loop to the left knitting needle, stretch the thread back between the knitting needles (the loop turns out to be a wrapped thread) , we twine twelve back loops;

second row: edge, one cape, three facial, one cape, six facial, one we remove as purl on the right needle, we stretch the thread forward between the spokes, we return the loop to the left needle, we stretch the thread back between the spokes, turn the work, twine the twelve back loops;

third row: edge, two facial together, one facial, two facial together, four facial, one removed as inferior to the right needle, stretching the thread forward between the spokes, returning the loop to the left needle, stretching the thread back between the spokes, turning the work, eight purl;

fourth row: edge, three together face, four facial, * a looped loop is pulled from below and tied together with the next facial, one facial * (from * to * repeat three times), we do not turn the work over, we loop the loops back.

Knit the scarf to the desired length in blocks of these four rows. The color and quality of the yarn is at your discretion.

Option two. Scarf bactus (scarf with elongated ends)

A baktus is a scarf-kerchief knitted onknitting needles or crochet. The length of such a scarf is from one hundred and thirty centimeters (it can be more), and the width is no more than forty centimeters. Its originality is manifested not only in the model, but also in a variety of draping methods. Such scarves are knitted either with a simple satin stitch (front or back) or with openwork knitting. There are also two ways to make a baktus: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal method is less common, but no less popular. To do this, cast on the knitting needles the number of loops along the length of the scarf (from 130 cm) and knit it up to the corner (in width), gradually decreasing the loops to get the shape of a triangle. To knit a beautiful women's baktus scarf vertically, cast on four loops on the knitting needles and knit the scarf up along the length, adding loops (on one side) in every fourth row. Having knitted to the top of the scarf (the corner of the kerchief), we continue knitting, decreasing the loops in every fourth row. For the cold season, a baktus scarf is knitted from warm wool or down yarn, single-color or melange. For summer or autumn, a cotton or silk baktus will be good, which is better knitted with an openwork pattern.

Option three. Scarf collar

Or in another way: scarf-collar, mini-snood.This option is good because it functions not only as a scarf, but also as a collar, and (if necessary) as a hood or hat. In addition, it can be a great additional accessory even to a business suit (how to knit it!). Such a scarf is usually knitted in a circle and has no seams. For good draping, a snood scarf is best knitted with a patent pattern: simple, English or French elastic. But this is not a mandatory condition. Such a scarf can be knitted with any other pattern, even with braids and bobbles. Snoods made with Scandinavian patterns or knitted from melange yarn, decorated along the bottom edge with pompoms or tassels look great. For a snood of medium size and density, you will need about one hundred grams of yarn and circular knitting needles. Cast on about two hundred and forty loops and knit with an elastic band in a circle for about twenty centimeters. If you are going to wear such a scarf as a cowl collar, hood or hat, then its width should be sufficient for draping in the neckline or to cover your head. For example, to knit a hooded scarf with a wide braid pattern, you need to cast on one hundred and twenty loops and knit with a double (two front, two back) elastic band for ten centimeters. Then take knitting needles of a larger size and knit with wide braids (from ten front) for about fifty centimeters more. Having knitted to the desired length, close all the loops. How to knit a beautiful scarf without any special frills? Just choose a beautiful yarn (by color or texture). You can also knit a scarf with an openwork or relief pattern or a pattern from yarn of contrasting colors. Believe me, this is often enough. Or, on the contrary, give free rein to your imagination. Use the patchwork technique for your knitted scarf or decorate it with voluminous rococo embroidery. Try knitting a scarf using Tunisian crochet or freeform technique. So, without putting it off, pick up your knitting needles and boldly implement your plans: and you will succeed! We recommend reading:
