Playing with Colors and Stitch Patterns


These three scarves are all done in a color scheme inspired by the latest Doctor in the Doctor Who series.  Fans are creating multiple interpretations, so I tried several.  On the left is a crocheted moss stitch scarf (free pattern here)


The center scarf is a linen stitch done in the round with a wide steek that is cut and raveled to form the fringe.  





The scarf on the right is a simple garter stitch done on extra-long circular needles using the color sequence from Kate Heppell's post.

You could make these same scarves using warm autumn colors, pastels, or monochrome shading.  I especially recommend the steeked fringe, if only for the interesting technique.  Knit on, and please comment and share if you try these patterns!
