The Daylilies Scarf Pattern

Daylilies Scarf is a rectangular scarf knit on the bias in garter stitch pattern. It is knit with 2 different colorways of Yarnspirations™ Caron® Cotton Funnel Cakes yarn I purchased this Spring at Michaels Arts and Crafts Store. I finished knitting this pullover (see below) late Spring and found the yarn soft and light and oh so enjoyable to knit with. I had enough yarn left over so I knit the Daylilies Scarf with it too. The colors of this yarn represent all things of Spring/Summer to me – the vibrant colors of daylilies and other flowers, the birds, the butterflies etc. The colors of the yarn also depict a season of much warmth and a time when nature is awake.

To knit during a pandemic

Four years ago my May 2016 blog post was about “The Simple Elegance of the Garter Stitch” and how with this stitch pattern we can create several beautiful and elegant knits. This year amidst the stay-at-home order due to the coronavirus pandemic, I would like to add that I’ve also found knitting with the garter stitch pattern both meditative and comforting.

A Garter Stitch Wrap

I used the Zaden Spring Shawl pattern by Staci Perry of Very Pink Knits as inspiration and also to learn the bias knitting technique for a wrap. I modified the pattern by using a different stitch count, sock yarn, and knit the wrap using just the garter stitch pattern. 

May knitting bring you comfort!
