I think some of the most beautiful scarves can be made out of railroad and eyelash yarns. The scarves are light weight and can be made in an array of colors. Your only limit is your imagination and what yarns you can find. I’m on the look out for sales, then I buy a number of colors I like, with no idea what I intend to do with them.
Remember I try to stay to one skein? Or in this case 1 skein each of two yarns. The size of the scarf is limited to the yardage of the smaller skein.
Here’s a close up. It really is lovelier in RL than the photo shows. There is more depth. It is a silky beige with flashes of bright pastels.
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. You can make brights or pastels. Sometimes I use varigated colors in both yarns. Sometimes only the railroad yarn is varigated.
You can make the scarves very long and thin (even try 10 stitches) or a bit wider and less long. Take your choice between fringe or no fringe. I have done both.
The longer scarves can be turned around the neck several times and still end up in the collar, or they can be doubled and passed through themselves.. They could also be loosely tied.
Take your choice of either of these:
Railroad and flutter/eyelash
12 stitches on size 13 needles or
16 st size 11 needles
Knit every row. Slip the first stitch in every row, as if to knit, except for the first row.
Remember to bind off very loosely.
Have fun!
