No Knit Scarves (Based upon a Martha Stewart project)

 

The left scarf is 4 bunches of 3 strands, the right is 4 bunches of 4 strands. 
These scarves are "Thick and Quick" yarn.



The blue scarf is 4 bunches of 3 strands, the red scarf is 4 bunches of 4 strands.
These scarves are the "Loops and Threads" yarn.




Supplies needed:

Bulky-weight yarn (We used Wool-Ease or Jiffy "Thick and Quick" yarn and "Country Loom Loops and Threads" yarn.)

Scissors

Masking Tape

Wire Hanger

Instructions:

1. Cut 12 pieces of bulky-weight yarn to about 2 times the desired length of the final scarf. 

2. Divide yarn into 4 bunches of 3 strands each. (If you have enough yarn left over to cut 4 more strands, you can make your scarf slightly thicker if you want by adding an additional length of yarn to each of the 4 bunches, so that you have 4 bunches of 4 strands each.)

3. Tie 2 bunches together with a square knot, leaving 6 inches of fringe at end; repeat with remaining 2 bunches.

4. Using fringe ends, tie both bunches onto hanger, spaced about 4 to 6 inches apart. (Alternatively, you could use binder clips or clothes pins to secure your scarf to the hanger.)  Using masking tape, secure hanger to a chair, door knob or other stationary object.

5. Knot inner 2 bunches of yarn together, spacing knot about 2 to 3 inches from existing knots (I used three fingers to determine my spacing).

6. Knot left bunches together and then right bunches together.

7. Alternate knotting the inner bunches and the left and right ones, spacing knots evenly apart, until about 6 inches of yarn remain on the end.  (One knot inside,  two knots outside, one inside, two outside and so on....)

8. Finish so that final knots mirror opposite end, and trim to even the ends.
