Beatrice Scarf

The Craft Group got a donation of some fingering or sock weight yarn that is 80% Acrylic and 20% Alpaca.  It is a funky shade of brown so I needed to find something interesting (stitchwise) to make with it.  While trolling around sites for new patterns I saw this pattern on the Red Heart site.

I have never used the Solomon's Knot stitch before, and I thought this yarn would be just right for the a scarf and it was  :-).  I used about 89 gr of the 100 gr skein.


I have 2 more skeins of this yarn and I think I will make them up with this same pattern.  Two ladies have already expressed interest in buying them and another has put in her order for one in white.  

Here are a couple of other views of the completed scarf.

This one is with a flash.


I am thinking I may use this neat hand dyed Merino sock weight yarn in one for myself.


Or maybe that long color changing yarn from Lion Brand - Amazing.  We'll have to see how I feel about this pattern after making at least 3 more... lol.
