    This is the project I'm working on now as a Christmas gift. Can't wait to finish it and give it to the person intended. Using size 7US needles as that is all I have not in use at the moment but I'm sure it will still look just as wonderful. Love this site and your posts

      What a lovely idea! I think it would be beautiful! Just to be sure, I would do a test swatch to see what it would look like...you might have to play around with the needle size too.

      Would be fantastic for chilly early spring days! :-)

      What a wonderful thing thing you are doing for the school kids! The great thing too about the scarf is that you can knit it to any length you want, making it suitable for very young kids all the way up to a very tall adult...very customizeable! :-)

    I don't knit. Is there a crochet version of the Tweedy Eyelet Scarf?

    Hi Jennifer, I have just found your blog and have bookmarked a few of your patterns/projects to create, but only after I finish crocheting my blanket.

    I was wondering if you knew what wool you used for this project, it really is lovely.

    P.S I love your name, I learned to knit and crochet from my Mum and her name is Jennifer too.

    Hi Jennifer, I am making this with a Noro yarn (for myself). I had one skein left over from a project, so we shall see how far it goes!

      Hi Jennifer- I realize most comments on here are a couple of yrs old but I just discovered this the other nite (4/14) on Pinterest! I did a swatch on some regular ole yarn & it looks really nice- now I've decided what to make with the Cascade merino/silk luxury yarn my sis sent me last Christmas! I'm a fairly new knitter...ruffle scarves (forgiving) & dishcloths but the swatch surprised me in that I do quite well now to attempt this in a really nice yarn- tomorrow going to Walmart to see if they carry the yarn (the web site says they do) you used so I can make lots for gifts- wonderful pattern & really pretty! Thank you, Kathy Tincler :v

    Jennifer,
    I found a skein of unlabeled novelty yarn--gorgeous but very thin. With size 7 needles, I followed this pattern and have completed 10 rows, but unlike your scarf, my stitches slant to the left. It's very pretty, but to add interest, I wondered what would happen if I did the next 10 rows with YO, P2tog. Would the stitches slant the other direction? I'm afraid to try because the novelty yarn is very hard to unravel if I mess up, and I'm not good at picking up knitting stitches. So I thought I'd seek your advice before attempting it. Thank you!

      Hi Wyominggal! Than does sound very pretty! It does seem as if it would behave in the opposite way, but just to make sure I would make a swatch before you move forward just to be sure. That way you won't have to take anything apart (yikes!) or have to commit to if it didn't look the way you want it to. Hope that helps!

      That's odd- my swatch didn't slant at all...hmm...it looks like yours though Jennifer

    This looks lovely! I'll try this when I have my ordered hats and scarfs knitted that my friends asked me to knit for them! It will be after Christmas but I wonder if it would be difficult to knit a hat to match your scarf. This of course will be for me or my 8 yr old little girl!

    Hi! I have tried starting this scarf two times, and each time I end up with an extra stitch after Row 5. Any thoughts about what I might be doing wrong?
    Thank you!!

      It just means "knit two stitches" so at the beginning on the row on row 5 for example, knit the first two stitches of the row, then proceed with the rest of the row. Hope that helps!

    I, too, end up with an extra stitch after row 5. I was wondering if i alternate between yo,k2tog and k2tog,yo every 5th row it would fix the problem.

      In eyelet rows, sometimes it can be easy to add an extra yo before those last two stitches. Before working the last two stitches of the row, be sure to end with the "k2tog" not an additional "yo" Hope that helps!

    If you k2tog, would you be decreasing?

    1. Fiber FluxJanuary 6, 2015 at 6:25 AM

      Yes, the k2tog is a decrease stitch, but you are also adding a yo, so that keeps the stitch count the same for each row.

      I am trying to figure out the last stitch from number 20 to start another row and it looks like it's a bigger loop and I've done something wrong. Any tips would be great. I am a beginner and a leftie. Thanks so much
