I started a new project this past weekend, and while I’m not sure I’ll like the end result,1 what I do know is that I love the yarn I’m using. It is bright, colorful, and summery, and it just makes me happy.
I used this same yarn last year to knit a simple basketweave scarf for my Mom. She wanted a lighter-weight scarf to use in warmer months2 and wanted something colorful. This yarn was perfect, both in its combination of bright colors and fiber content–100% mercerized cotton. I chose a basketweave pattern because it was simple and wouldn’t compete with my highly-colored yarn choice, and it was reversible and would look good from either side, which is perfect for a scarf.
It’s so simple a pattern, I hesitated to even do a formal write-up, but it does make a lovely springtime or summer scarf, so I did.
