Darn Good Scarves

I've shown these types of scarves before, but here are the latest two.



They both have multicolor silk ribbon yarn from Darn Good Yarn as the center, and then stitches picked up around the edge, with a yarnover between each middle arm.



The middle yarn does the talking, so I make the hairpin lace wide and just edge it with a couple of rows of knitting on large needles.


For the end parts, I picked up some stitches for the edge, and then increased before and after each corner stitch on every other row (the 'right side' of the garter).


These scarves are rather long, at least 6 feet. The ribbon yarn works up fast when doing the hairpin lace part. These are best suited to be worn doubled.


The edged hairpin lace scarf is now one of my go-to patterns.
