There are times when I like to just let a yarn speak to me. I let it tell me what it wants to be; that is exactly what happened with this design. I had ONE ball of the new Colorscape yarn by Red Heart yarn and I knew I wanted to have something I could wear wrapped around my neck. So, I chose a stitch pattern that was easy to remember and wouldn’t bore me to death and cast on.
The resulting accessory is a super simple rib and lace scarf cowl; it can be either one. When I was finished with the piece I new I had the perfect buttons to use and lucky me, they were the right size to fit into the lace portion of the piece. What does that mean? NO BUTTON HOLES to make 🙂
Do you have one ball of yarn that you just can’t wait to start? This is the project for you. Customize it for any yarn you want to use. You can make one in no time (this took me about 4 hours to make). Are you ready to make your own Super Simple Rib and Lace Scarf Cowl?
