Following on from my last blog post about knitting an Aran hat, I now present the scarf I was able to knit with the remaining wool. I had just under 150g of this dye lot and it made a scarf measuring 6" x 46" which will be perfect for Operation Orphan.
I used my favourite Yarn Harlot pattern. It is a one row pattern, i.e. every row is the same and it just seems to flow from the needles. I was actually able to knit it without constantly looking down as the thick Aran yarn made feeling the stitches very easy. So I would describe this as fairly mindless knitting with an end result that looks more difficult than it really is.
I'm very impressed at how far a 50g ball of Emu Aran wool goes. I still have 400g of this yarn and am mulling over a few project ideas for 2015.
It's lovely Una the pattern is very simple but very effective I like it. :)
