At last count, I think I had around 6 projects on the go. Keeps me busy, but sometimes means a long gap between FO’s…this scarf was a great remedy for it. It’s the One Skein Scarf — my favourite, always trusty quick-gift pattern. Using the K hook and a lighter worsted weight yarn make it drapey and soft, and it’s a fairly classic style.
Without further ado…a nearly-instant gratification FO.
The yarn is Paton’s Soy Natural Blends. I really detested knitting with it, but it crocheted beautifully…in fact, I’ll probably buy it again for crochet projects; the smoothness and sheen and soft drape work really well with hooking.

Your scarf looks delicious and soft. I will have to try out the soy yarn, but I’ve never seen that shade of pink. Beautiful!

There are some really lovely pastels and earthy tones in the new Bernat Natural Blends line…I’d love to try the bamboo, it felt deliciously soft in the skein. But it’s almost a boucle texture, so I have to think of a good project for it.
