Knitting a Hitchhiker

I finished a Hitchhiker scarf this week.
It is knit in Drops Delight 4ply which comes in a great range of colours at only £2.10 a ball. This scarf used 2 balls.


I really enjoyed making it, watching the colour runs develop as it got longer.


It is a great pattern which is very flexible. You can knit this in any yarn gauge and any length by following the clear instructions. It is a strange sort of saw shape but drapes really well when you wear it.


I blocked it to get sharp 'teeth' and pointy corners.


This one is going into my present box for Christmas.

Happy Knitting!

  2. I have squished this yarn a few times but never used it. It looks great. I love self striping yarns, so effective with very little effort.

  5. I usually stay well away from 4 ply and stick with chunkier stuff but this is just lovely. This pattern is in my queue and seeing this I think it has just moved up a few places!
