Highlighting Hand-Dyed Yarns with the Rib Welt Scarf

A beautiful opportunity to highlight those special skeins, SweaterFreak’s Rib Welt Scarf is fun for knitters of all levels. Offering two sizes along with instructions to modify your scarf’s size, this project highlights the harmony between the pattern’s texture and the personality and character of dreamy hand-dyed yarns.

As Jenny of SweaterFreak shares in the pattern info: “Rib Welt scarf is a fresh twist on a classic. It’s a shallow triangular scarf that starts out in 2×2 rib gradually increasing and then decreasing worked in welting. Perfect for the couple of skeins of that special DK yarn you have been keeping for something special!”

For this sample, we wanted to play with the texture in this pattern even further by working with two yarns held together. Using our fingering weight SweetGeorgia CashLuxe Fine yarn along with the SweetGeorgia Silk Mist lace yarn, together they combine to make a lusciously soft finished project. The cashmere blend along with the soft mohair lends a fabulous feel to this scarf along with a delicate halo.

Materials

Instructions

  • Download the Rib Welt Scarf pattern from the SweaterFreak website or Ravelry page and follow all instructions as listed, dependent on your chosen size.
    The pattern is originally written for a DK-weight yarn, however we held two strands of yarn together to make a similar gauge: our fingering weight CashLuxe Fine yarn along with the lace weight Silk Mist yarn.

Notes

Shared on the SweaterFreak pattern page:
“The pattern includes two sizes and instructions to modify your scarf. Due to half of the scarf worked in rib and half in welting, it’s slightly shorter (2”-4”) on the welting side due to welting naturally “shrinking” back.”
Pattern Gauge:
• 24 sts per 4” using US#6/4.00mm needles in 2×2 rib blocked
Skills & Techniques:
• slipping stitches
• knitting/purling
• decreasing/increasing

Crocheting Granny Squares for the Jethro Cardigan

Image
Crochet Granny Squares are just so much fun to make! Just… one… more round… one more square… For today’s Taking Back Friday episode, I talk about the crochet granny squares I have been making at every possible moment for this past month. I’ve recently been inspired by the Jethro cardigan design by Tanis Lavallee from Tanis Fiber Arts. The Jethro cardigan combines both knitting and crochet in one project. You start by crocheting a bunch of classic granny squares, and then join them all together. Then, you pick up for knitting the sleeves and trim. It’s a really fun and easy way to play with colour, especially with making your own palettes and colour combinations. Mini-skein sets work perfectly to allow for fun colour play with these granny squares The goal of making these granny squares is to play with colour, but I didn’t want to go and buy 6 to 10 full skeins of DK-weight yarn in order to get enough of each colour. And so, I feel like the answer here is DK-weight mini-skeins . ...

Joining Crochet Granny Squares – It’s Easier Than I Imagined!

Image
I recently learned how to continuously “join as you go” (JAYG) for crochet granny squares and I LOVE this technique. And so on today’s Taking Back Friday video , I want to share an update on my Jethro Cardigan project and how I joined the granny squares. As I shared in a previous vlog episode , I’ve been making crochet squares out of three different sets of our Superwash DK Party of Five mini-skein sets. I finished making the 36 granny squares needed, which no two are identical. However, after crocheting all of the squares, I was stuck on how to join them together. They simply sat finished in a pile for a couple of weeks. Luckily, Tanis provided resources with her pattern and one of them was for the “Join as You Go” tutorial. It was fantastic. I’m so proud and excited that I’m almost done. I love how it is turning out, and playing with colours has been the most fun part of this project. If you’re interested in making your own Jethro Cardigan, I want to give you some encouragemen...

Winterful Weave-Along: Weaving WIPs

Image
Part of the fun of any make-along is to connect with fellow makers — to share your progress, ask questions, and be inspired by others’ work. We’ve absolutely loved seeing all of your photos and the journey of all of the weave-along weavers both at our Discord and SOS Forum spaces. SweetGeorgia Team Member, Greta, has now started weaving her second Kaleidoscope Scarf ! Helping to add some additional needed yardage for the border colour with our SweetGeorgia Individual Mini-Skeins (in Bison), Greta is following her own weft order — adding in some yellow picks and writing the order on a sticky note so the pattern can be easily repeated. Greta’s @gretacornejomakes second Kaleidoscope Scarf in-progress There is more weaving project inspiration to be found at our SweetGeorgia Discord space, in the #winterful-weave-along channel. It’s wonderful to follow along as everyone works through the weaving steps together. Also a fabulous opportunity for community learning, as weavers share ...
