One and Done knitted Scarf

My second version of the One & Done scarf by Casapinka.


This one was made with Drops Alpaca in a colourway called Golden Rod which Christina from Colourful life kindly gave me. Even though it is a thicker yarn than my last one in fingering weight it didn't seem to block out as big so it is a frippery of neck attire which can be worn all day.


You do not embark on this project unless you are prepared to wet block the finished item. It goes from a scrunched up piece of ribbing to this beautiful crescent by using lots of pins and patience.

It is soft and pretty with a texture like lace. I am not done with this pattern, there will be more!


It goes very well with my wool skirt and a few other things I already have so it is definitely a keeper. 



Thanks for looking. I need my next take along project - socks I think.

  4. That is a super colour and will really suit you. That shawl looks just as great in DK as well as 4ply.

  11. I love it but better steer clear as my blocking skills stink. I am in love with that golden color right now, I love the warmth of the tone, so peaceful.
