Deco-Ribbon
70% acrylic - 30% nylon
80 yds/50 gram ball
A Free Easy Knit Scarf Pattern
from less than 2 balls of Deco-Ribbon
Plus small knotted pieces
Knit in a long
vertical ribbing on big needles (size 13)
This pattern came about due to the first samples of
Deco-Ribbon being a large skein of white and small samples of the 47 other
colors. 6-7 colors were knotted with white to make this easy scarf.
It would also be fun in just 2 colors (black and white?). Or get together
with 2-3 friends and swap colors.
Deco-Ribbon Knotty Confetti Scarf 1-2 balls of Deco-Ribbon Color A, main color
Accent Colors: Now knot each end of the short Accent Color pieces to the long lengths
of color A. As you tie them, roll the “new yarn" into a soft ball of yarn
which you will use for knitting the scarf. When you have tied up about a third of the Main Color A, begin
knitting. This will give you a chance to see how you like the look and how
much more yarn you will want to “tie up" with knotting. The scarf in the photo was knit this way: With size 13 needles, loosely cast on 18 sts. This makes scarf vertical ribbing with garter stitch border along each
side. The scarf will be approximately 6 inches wide and continue knitting
to make the scarf as long as desired. We used 1.5 balls of Main Color A
for our scarf with lots of knotted pieces and it is 48" long. Finishing:
& partial balls of 2 or more Accent colors, the more the better.
(Get together with 4 friends who want to make this scarf and each share
1/4 of a ball or 4 or more different colors.) 
Cut background color A into lengths of 24-36". No need to measure. Wrap
ribbon around upper arm with a bent elbow and wind yarn around and around
- cut the circle of yarn in half. Then cut some shorter and longer than
these lengths for variety.
Cut Accent colors into short lengths: 4-6 inches in length. Make a pile of
the short cut pieces. Use just one color or as many as you have.
All odd rows: k3, p3, k3, p3, k3, end k3
All even rows: k3, k3, p3, k3, p3, end k3
Put scarf into bowl or pan of warm water with a little liquid detergent -
