Colourful Home-knit Scarves


Tango by Woolcraft is a 'novelty' machine washable yarn in 7 shades.  Just one ball creates a wonderful ruffle scarf, ideal for presents.

Instructions for knitting this scarf are printed on the ball band.  It is suitable for beginners and is so easy to knit in less than a day.
  

These three rotini or potato chip scarves are easy to knit but more time consuming.  They can be knit for kids or adults in which ever yarn you fancy.  Peaches & Creme do a fabulous selection multi-coloured 100% cotton 4 ply yarns, of which the acid pink and green (colour 172 pink/lemonade) scarf is one.  The purple, orange multi-coloured wool scarf is a Fairytale Colour 4 Me 100% wool DK knitted on 4mm needles. 


And lastly the orange and purple Rotini below is Gedifra 88% cotton Fiorista.
