Short and Sweet Knit Scarf

Make It Quick Projects

Short & Sweet Knit ScarfThey are all the rage: short, narrow scarves, that look great with a sweater or under a jacket. And you can Make It Quick!TM with two strands of worsted-weight yarn. We used two variegated yarns to create these wonderful color combinations in our models but why not try combining a solid with a variegated yarn for a terrific tweedy look.
