Happy Scrappy was born out of my obsession with 'dropping the fringe' and working with my leftovers. This amazing shawl was created all from my scrap bin! I used ~220 grams of all different bases of fingering weight and knitting just two rows with each color. (Link to Ravelry and Payhip)
If you don't have enough scraps to have such variety (yet), pick two skeins from your stash and stripe them, or purchase one solid color skein to stripe with your leftovers.
While this shawl was designed for fingering weight it would be so easy to size up! You would knit a worsted weight version and all you have to do is change your needle size. (I would recommend going up to a US 8)
I can't wait to see your combos!
I just left a question after I purchased pattern. I have a new skein of variegated and couldnt find a pattern I liked, so I'm going to add to my fingering assortment as this yarn is discontinued. Super cute pattern! I too love knitting
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you like the pattern, can't wait to see what colors you use! Sierra
DeleteI want to make without the fringe. Do you think it is possible to weave in the ends and have a neat edge? I just love the stripes :)
ReplyDeleteYou could definitely make this without the fringe! The pattern calls for stitches before stitch markers on both ends. You can ignore (don't cast on) those stitches and immediately go to the increase. Sierra
