No way I can knit forty scarves before November 1.
Some knitter, perhaps a member of Sunflower Knitters Guild, has knit 200 hats for the Johnson County Christmas Bureau. Other members of SKG have been asked to knit coordinating scarves. Most of the hats are solid colors, but some are Chiefs red-n-gold. I decided to knit Chameleon scarves in red-n-gold.
Chameleon scarves, well, one color dominates one side, the other color dominates the other side. The fringe on one end is one color, fringe on the other end is the other color.
How do you make a chameleon scarf? Using a circular needle of some length, cast on 280 - 300 stitches. Use a crochet cast-on. Do not use long-tail cast-on. After the cast-on, knit the first row. Change to the other color. GO TO THE OTHER END OF THE NEEDLE. Knit two rows. Change to other color. GO TO THE OTHER END OF THE NEEDLE. Leave a loop that can be cut into a fringe.
Knit to the desired width. The last two rows can be either color. Of the last two rows, the last is the bind-off. I'm not entirely happy with the bind-off I use, but it does not need a stretchy bind-off. But anyway, do not bind-off tightly.
Cut the loops, tighten up the stitches, and double knot. Spectacular!!! And you've done it all with totally knit stitches.
