Knitting Garland Scarves Pattern is Here!

All three patterns for $5.00.

Cherry Blossoms

 

An easy project for the intermediate knitter.

After the huge support of my Crocheted Garland Scarves, I’ve designed these lovelies for the knitter.

Cherry Blossom, Roses Are Red and Blue Clematis. You get all the information to knit all three scarves.

Knit one or all three. Very affordable for gift giving to a teacher, babysitter, secret santa or coworker.

You can also use these scarves as garland in your home…curtain tie back, draped on a shower curtain or window valance.

***Selling the finished product is permitted***

Blue Clematis

 

Roses Are Red

 

I used Lion Brand Heartland yarn and US size 7 dpns (only two, no knitting in the round) as well as US size 10 straight needles.  Each scarf is over 2 yards (1.8m) long.

 

Icord stem and little branches and 3 different leaf options.

I get so many compliments on the Cherry Blossom Scarf, even from men!

 

Make longer or shorter. Make more or less branches, flowers and buds as you like.

 

These are the Crochet Garland Scarves, which is an advanced beginner pattern.  As with all my patterns, I'm always available to help you along the way.

For some reason when I gift arm warmers/fingerless mitts, people think they are boot cuffs.  I popped over to Hobby Lobby and picked up these sturdy, paper hands in the kids craft section.  Thirty of them for $2.47.  There should be no mistaken identity now!

Knitting Garland Scarves

Thank you for the grand support of my crocheted Garland Scarves (photo below)!  I had so much fun designing and hooking those up.  Now, I know many hookers can also knit, so I'm in the process of writing up Garland Scarves for the knitter.

You can find the pattern for the crocheted Garland Scarves in my Ravelry, Craftsy and Etsy shops.  Links at the top of this page.

My design process is rather simple.  I get an idea in my head, pick up the needles or hook and get started.  No schematics, usually, just jotting things down as I go along and it usually works out.

That's how it worked for the crocheted Garland Scarves.

I often do this process on the dining room table or the table in my knitting studio.  I need quite a bit of room  to work.  Pads of paper, pencil, different size hooks or needles, tapestry needle, balls of yarns in various colors, scissors etc.  My "knitting chair", which my brother calls "knitting central", doesn't allow enough room for all this.

I've got two patterns going on in this photo.  A green garland and pattern notes and another green garland and roses with pattern notes pinned to blocking boards.

You can see another scarf in the works at the top of this photo.  We usually don't eat at the table for WEEKS when I'm designing!  Pitiful, isn't it?

Here are some of my blocking boards.  If you buy big foam puzzle pieces, they are so much cheaper than traditional blocking boards, and if you get them on sale, even better.  I bought the flowered ones on clearance at WalMart.  Twenty pieces for $5.  I also use a yoga mat, usually for rectangular scarf blocking.

I store them all in a clear, plastic bag that came with a bedspread purchase years ago.

 

I have two designed with two more to go.  These knitted scarves will be more for the intermediate knitter, not the beginner/advanced knitter, as is usual for me.  I strive to design deceptively simple patterns with spectacular results (my motto), however sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.

Must get back to it.

Best,

Sheila

Garland Scarves Pattern

 

If you follow me on instagram (button on the right side of this post), you've followed my progress on these crocheted Garland Scarves.   On a recent trip to Washington, DC, our nations capital here in the USA, the Cherry Blossom trees were in full bloom.  The view was spectacular!  I ran across the photos we took and was inspired to design a garland scarf.

Once I got started, I couldn't stop!

Cherry Blossom Garland Scarf

Super easy, three skein pattern for the advanced beginner or better.   So easy pink cherry blossoms and simple green leaves all together with a basic brown stem with branches.  Oh, and you can get more than one scarf from your three skeins.  We all love those kinds of projects.  I must tell you, I loved making the stem and little branches so much.  So much so, I made two more scarves in two different color ways.

On the Cherry Blossom Scarf, the leaves are crocheted right on the branches and the blossoms are crocheted separately and attached later.  If you look closely, some of the branches are bare and some have tiny buds.  You have total control on how many flowers, buds and leaves you want on your scarf. 

I give you lots of photos and tips and I'm always available if you have any questions.

 

I like it even without any flowers!

 

Roses are Red Garland Scarf

So, after I completed the first one, I made another in two colors...taupe and red.  It's tough to photograph red, but let me tell you, the colors are amazing together!

I adore this one.  Simple roses and buds with larger leaves that are just slightly more challenging to crochet.  I've put the bulk of the flowers on the ends of the scarf this time and made fewer leaves.  Of course, you can crochet as many as you like and place them anywhere you like.  Same stem and branches. 

This photo shows the taupe a little better.  

It looks a little grey here, which also would be fabo!

 

Nice in Neutral Garland Scarf

And because not everyone loves color, a neutral garland, that goes with everything.  Oh, and by the way, if you make it in all one color....this is a one skein project!  

I give you all the information you need.  Yarn:  Lion Brand Heartland in 6 colors.  The pattern for the stem/branches, leaves, cherry blossoms, roses and buds.   Lots of instructional photos and tips.

Oh,  and feel free to mix and match as you wish....

You can also use buttons instead!  These are from Joann Fabrics.

Or store bought felt pieces.  I found these for 66% off at Hobby Lobby, in the Valentine isle.

 

I hope you like them as much as I do.  Here's where you can find the pattern:

Keep a luggage tag on your project bag in case it gets left at the coffee shop, doctors office or airplane.  This is my favorite project bag....from Bloomingdale.
