Easy Holiday Scarf With Pom Poms
I wanted to make something for my adult niece for the holiday season that was both practical and had a little whimsy. She has two little boys that love to play in the snow so I thought she could use something warm. I'm feeling ambitious this year and am trying to make a home-made gift for everyone on my list. I want the gifts to be nice but also, because of time constraints, not too time consuming. I'm really happy with how it turned out and plan to make one for myself and maybe boot cuffs to match.
Directions:
Things you will need:
straight loom (I used rose colored knifty knitter)
2 Skeins: Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick; Color: Crimson (6) Super Bulky
1 Skein White Yarn (also Bulky)
Knitting tool
Crochet Hook
Small Pom Pom Maker
-E-Wrap Cast-on (9) pegs
-E-Wrap Knit until you use both skeins of Crimson Yarn
-Bind-off
-Weave in ends
-Make (6) pom poms with the small pom-pom maker and attach evenly to ends of scarf
It's really easy and fast!

I really like the looks of this scarf! Is part of the instructions missing? How did you incorporate the white yarn? I would also be interested in the boot cuff pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The white yarn was used on the pom-poms. I probably didn't include it in the instructions since the photo shows what color the pom-poms are made of. I have several free boot cuff patterns on this blog. Have a good day and thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteIs this a self striping yarn?
ReplyDeleteYes Gladys! This yarn will do all the work for you. Thanks for visiting!!-Nicole
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about self-striping yarn, because the instructions say to buy a skein of white and a skein of red. Did you do a certain number of rows in red and then tie-in the white for a certain number of rows?
ReplyDelete@MissingMiami, Hello you need 2 skeins of the self-striping crimson yarn which will give you the mottled look and the solid red look. The white is used for the pom poms only. You do not need to "tie-in" different yarn colors, the self-striping yarn does all the colorwork for you. I hope this answers your question!
