skeins: 5 |
skill: Beginner |
stiches: Garter and Ruffle Pattern |
| We adapted this scarf from a Mac and Me pattern that we loved. We just wanted it to knit quicker so we used two strands of yarn instead of one. The ruffle border adds a bit of sophistication to a simple garter scarf. |

Not only is Alpaca yarn one of the softest fibers next
to Cashmere, it is also extremely warm. Blue Sky Alpaca is 100% alpaca wool
and is available in several neutral tones as well as some rich, deep hues. Knitting with this yarn is wonderful.
You can knit this yarn using a single strand for a thin but luxurious feeling
sweater you can knit with a double strand on a size 10 or 10.5 needle. Alpaca makes for great hand-knit kids’ sweaters as well - our favorite is kids' knitting project is knit with a double strand of
yarn in garter stitch with a cable up the center.
