I thought for sure I had posted about this scarf before, but I have not, apparently. So right now, in July, would be a good time to whip up a bunch of these easy scarves for the kids in your life. Here's the link, from Design Adventures:
Child’s Textured Scarf.
A few years ago (it was 2013, actually -- I had to look it up!) I made a number of these simple scarves. My grandchildren, who had asked for scarves, loved them. Apparently I was too busy to take photos of these at the time, however. The photos in this post are from this past Christmas, when my daughter in Nevada asked if I would make scarves for her three youngest children who did not have them.
It worked out perfectly, because I was at the point of wanting to make a few very simple handmade gifts again. These scarves are so fast that I could easily get them done in time to send out west.
I do apologize for the quality of these photos. I snapped them quickly -- just before wrapping and packing them, I would guess. But you get the idea. This is a nice textured pattern and so easy to do. The kids in my life really like them. So if you need a quick handmade gift for a child (especially one who likes to play outdoors in winter) this might be just the thing!
My grands would love these... too bad I can't crochet. I've been thinking of taking up knitting again and I might be able to knit something similar. What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteYou could learn to crochet, Vicki! It's much easier than knitting in my book. But if you already know how to knit, I think a knitted scarf along this line would be quite simple.
Deletepretty colors! Teigan really wanted one last year and mom knitted her one.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice! Yes, I chose each child's favorite color for these.
DeleteHave you seen the snowman gift boxes idea for kids? You make s snowman out of three white boxes of varying sizes and decorate the face and add white circles for the buttons. These scarves would be awesome presented that way.
ReplyDeleteI have seen that! I think maybe on Vicki's blog?
DeleteYou could put a scarf in one box, mittens or gloves in another, and a hat in the third!
I couldn't have done that with these particular scarves, as they were mailed to Nevada and I keep the packaging very simple to keep the shipping costs down. These were wrapped very simply in Christmas tissue paper and squished into a flat rate box with as many other gifts as I could fit in!
I've got 2 infinity scarves done in the gift closet.
ReplyDeleteOh, wonderful! Good for you!
