Willow Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I've just finished knitting a red scarf for 5yo nephew using Sirdar 1 hr scarf http://www.knitandsew.co.uk/Sirdar_One_Hour_Scarf.htm. It definitely took me lonmger than 1 hr but it is really nice to knit. I'd wanted to find nice soft wool suitable for boys as I'd knitted a pink scarf for his younger sister using Sirdar funky fur http://www.knitandsew.co.uk/Sirdar_Funky_Fur_wool.htm. I've knitted a few scarves and beanie hats in Sirda denim ultra and these make up nice and quick as well. My sons have had lots of friends say how nice their scarves are HAs anyone else found any nice/unusual wool for scarves (I might try something harder next time ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sirdar Eclipse is great for beanie hats as it is self striping but in some gorgeous shades. Would probably make good scarves as well. It comes in DK or chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Snoflake or Big softie is nice wool for both. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelk Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I've knitted several in that wool that looks like pom-poms on a string. Kids seem to love them! Once you've got the hang of it they knit up really quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
