Must Make Monday: Sweet Brier Scarf

Must Make Monday: Sweet Brier Scarf

There’s always that skein of hand-dyed yarn you couldn’t resist–maybe you even bought two skeins. But what do you do with it? The Sweet Briar Scarf is the perfect canvas to show off your speckles, gradients, or solid color skeins that you just had to take home with you.

Whether it’s to stave off chilly temps or to zhush up an everyday outfit, scarves are always in style. This new scarf pattern features a reversible diamond design out of simple knits and purls. The texture will keep your interest while knitting, and the diamonds create a sleek geometric look. Plus, we think it will look absolutely stunning in our exclusive show color, Sunset Over Old Town.

The Sweet Briar Scarf was designed with the DK-weight Miss Babs Yowza or Killington in mind, but you could just as easily use other finds from this year’s trunk show. We love the idea of two strands of  Sojourn for a truly luxurious scarf; one strand of  Yummy 2-Ply with one strand of Estrellita for a sparkly accent; or one strand of  Katahdin with one strand of Moonglow for the coziest scarf ever.

A family friend taught Heather how to crochet when she was a child, and she taught herself how to knit about ten years later. She’s had a hook or needles in hand ever since. Heather makes whimsical amigurumi and blankets, but also makes socks, shawls, and sweaters to highlight gorgeous dyes and fibers. She’s excited to join the fibre space community and to help more folks tap into their creativity!
