Drop Stitch Scarf


Remember I had mentioned a drop stitch scarf I am making, in my previous post. I made it with Vardhaman variegated yarn(acrylic). Cast on 36 stitches for a wider scarf.


This knits up fast. It's a very flexible pattern. I feel it looks great with any yarn. And it can be easily memorized. Perfect for TV knitting.


I learnt how to block acrylic by killing it!!Yeah, I can kill now!!!! The drape of the scarf definitely improved after blocking.


Have a good day!!

The scarf is beautiful! I call blocking acrylic "Melting." I usually just spray it with water and then iron it! The scarf stretches and drapes perfectly. Of course, it will NEVER bounce back to it's original shape because it's MELTED!!
