This scarf was so much fun to knit. Self-striping yarn is endlessly amusing :)
A really simple, effective pattern designed to use your entire skein(s) of sock yarn. I love the history behind it...a traditional Norwegian pattern named after a character in a children's tale.
So versatile! And warm. And lightweight.
I used the same yarn and colorway as my Midsomer Mitts. My mitt and scarf set isn't "matchy-matchy", they're only "sorta matchy". But that's good enough for me.

ReplyDeleteWow that is a nice scarf!! Love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteIt's just beautiful - love the spring-like colors! Can't wait to see your next one.
ReplyDeleteI love that. I was looking for a good scarf pattern for sock yarn. Heart and Sole yarn is nice and soft and comes in beautiful shades. Not sure I'm really into size 3 needles given how slow I knit, but its worth a shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link.
so pretty Staci!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI gave up on mine!!! The yarn is still laying on the needles in the same position it was in before the triplets visit last month!
I can't begin to tell you how much I am admiring that scarf!! I wish I was a knitter!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI learned to knit years ago from my Grandmother and started knitting a little two years ago but haven't done much lately. Your blog has inspired me to start knitting again. I am going to try the Baktus scarf. Wish me luck.

Gorgeous Staci! Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that looks fun. My sister gave me a knitting class for Christmas. We start tomorrow night by making a bag to felt. Maybe in a few weeks I'll have something cool to show.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! I love the way the direction of the stripes seem to change after it comes over the shoulders!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf. It looks like something I could handle after conquering sock heels! I've been looking for an excuse to buy some "Heart & Sole" yarn anyway.
ReplyDeleteGreat scarf,Staci! And thanks for the link. I'm doing a fun Ann Norling scarf called Short Row MultiDirectional Scarf; bet you'd like it too.
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf Traci. Great colors too. And now I'm very curious how the other one will look.
ReplyDeleteNice bright colours! So cheerful on a cold gray January morning.
ReplyDeleteLovely scarf! Just love the colours.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that does look bright and cozy at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Staci! I love it. I just love those colors--very nice and happy for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteoh, look at those wonderful happy colors! Just beautiful. And your pillow cases are wonderful as always!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty scarf! The colors are so happy..
ReplyDeleteYou make me want to learn to knit! The colors are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Staci,
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours! Can you tell me who designed the pattern in your sidebar that says" Lets all sing like the birdies sing"? you did a wonderful job on it and I know I have seen it before but can't remember where.
thank you , Jennifer
It's beautiful and I'm guessing it's as much fun to wear as it was to knit!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea, its brilliant
ReplyDeleteJust love the cheery colors and the way the texture looks! blessings,Kathleen
ReplyDeleteCute scarf, love those colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! I love the way this yarn changes color.
ReplyDeleteRight I am doing this one. Did I mention you are an inspiration to me???
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the pattern! I love the shape of the scarf and the color you selected. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that scarf. It certainly will brighten up a dull winter's day.
ReplyDeleteI've added it to my queue.
thanks for the info Staci! I do have a copy of the mag so will look it up and put it in my "To do in within the next century file!!"
ReplyDeleteWhat beauty! Boy, that yarn is gorgeous! I need to make time for some knitting this year. You do lovely lovely work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use sock yarn. I love those bright, happy colours.

Oh I just LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this but then I am someone with a scarf feddish. I have 3 containers full of them and am always looking for more. I don't knit but you can bet I will be sharing this with my mother and begging her as she does...lol! Hope this keeps you toasty warm in the winter months.
ReplyDeleteHugs ~

What a beautiful yarn colour, Staci!
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented!
I can't knitting nor crochet at all!
My mum does, but she is not good at knitting, she prefer crochet, so I want to ask her to knit such beauty, she would say she can't!
I have never seen such lovely scarf!!
