Sheer Elegance Sampler Scarf Knit Along
I Love Yarn Day is coming! This year’s theme is “Stitch It Forward,” and although #ILoveYarnDay is on October 14th, we’re going to #StitchItForward all week and have some fun by leading a fantastic knit along taught by the super talented Kristi Simpson.
Every day this week, from October 9th-13th, we’ll be providing a step-by-step video tutorial explaining how to complete the colorful and intricate Sheer Elegance Sampler Scarf. Kristi uses Paintbox Yarn Cotton DK Yarn, provided by our yarn sponsor LoveKnitting.com. Paintbox yarn is wonderful to work with, and available exclusively from LoveKnitting.com. She also uses knitting bags provided by Yarn Pop. These bags help keep you organized, no matter how intricate the project. We recommend picking up Paintbox Yarn and a knitting bag from Yarn Pop to get started.
This scarf is worked up in five distinct stitch patterns, each in a different color, to give you a bold and exciting new accessory to enjoy in the fall weather. Each section of the scarf is fully explained and shown with a complete video tutorial, so don't be intimidated by the design! Grab five of your favorite colors for a fresh punch of color, or stick with neutral hues for an everyday accessory - the choice is yours!
