Spring Meadow Scarf Knit Along!

May 13, 2015 6 Comments

Spring Meadow Scarf Knit Along - Hands Occupied for All Free Knitting

Scarf modeling is totally hard.

I wasn’t going to do it, but in the end, I couldn’t let spring pass without doing another knit along! Last spring I hosted a sock knit along where I shared how to knit top down Shorty Socks, and last fall, we knit the Remy Pullover from start to finish. This knit along is super special, though. I’m hosting AllFreeKnitting‘s first knit along, and I designed a really elegant lace scarf inspired by the season just for it. Take a look at some pictures of the Spring Meadow Scarf below and get excited to cast on this one skein, perfect-for-the-season project. Read on for all the details about how/when/where to KAL, and how to win yarn & prizes from Red Heart for participating!

    Ooh, those colours! Super beautiful. I wish I wasn’t already working on a million projects… argh the temptation…
    How much time do you think it would take, every week to knit this?

      It’s really not too bad. The hardest week will be the second and second to last, when the pattern calls for fern lace. It’s a 16 row repeating lace pattern, but it’s only repeated twice, so that won’t take forever, depending on your level of comfort working with lace. The other sections involve lace patterns with 4 row repeats, but those are repeated over longer lengths than the fern lace. I know I knit the final sample of the Spring Meadow Scarf, start to finish, in about 14 total hours. Does that give you enough of an idea?

      Thanks for all the lovely comments this week, by the way!

    I began this morning with week one and am so disappointed that it is not
    reversible. I stopped and tore it out as I HATE to constantly be flipping
    the scarf so the right side is showing. I will check what you do on the rest
    of the weeks to see if I can incorporate some of the scarf.
