GRUNDL FLAMENCO SCARF
Ruffle Scarf knitted on 6mm needles
How to knit with Flamenco.
1.
Start by pulling open the curled fabric by hand.
2. The right side of the fabric is
with it curling towards you.
3. Always have this side facing you.
4. Casting on
couldn't be easier, just push your needle through the fabric once every 2 to 3
cm along about
( 0.5cm from the top edge of the fabric) until you have 14 loops
on your needle.
5. To knit push your right needle through the same hole in the mesh
as the cast on stitch but instead of
wrapping the yarn around the needle to knit
you put the needle through the next length of mesh
(again 0.5cm from the edge)
and pull the stitch through.
It is very easy once you get
going. You knit into the mesh every few cm along
until the scarf is the desired
length. 3 balls makes a good long adult scarf.
2 balls is enough for a thin boa
style scarf or childs length scarf.
You can vary the needle size and how close
together you knit your stitches to make an
intensly frilly or more gentle wavy
piece of knitting.
As well as scarves this makes a great evening wrap, or frill
edging for
hems, cuffs, handbags... Have fun seeing what you can make.
