Now that the weather is cooling down and the evenings are getting longer, it’s the perfect time to start knitting a colourful cosy scarf to brighten up your winter days. I’ve got an easy scarf knitting pattern that you are going to love.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t resist using DMC Woolly 5 merino yarn<\/a> again after my Rainbow Knitted Baby Blanket<\/a> project. This squishy 100% merino wool yarn is super soft and feels lovely against the skin, making it perfect for garments like hats and scarves.<\/p>\n

With a plethora of yarn colours to choose from, I really wanted a scarf pattern that was easy to make, but colourful at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"Striped<\/p>\n

On my search for inspiration I stumbled across this Stripey Tube Scarf by Purl Soho<\/a>, and decided it was the perfect design concept for my own knitted scarf project.<\/p>\n

Because the yarn is a totally different weight, I took direct inspiration from the Purl Soho scarf pattern but adapted the pattern to use DMC Woolly 5, which is a 8ply (DK) yarn weight.<\/p>\n

It took a few sample swatches, some calculations and even a digital kitchen scale to get the pattern to work. But with a bit of persistence, it worked out great in the end.<\/p>\n

Suggested DMC Woolly 5 Colour Combinations<\/h3>\n

With so many lovely colours on offer in the DMC Woolly 5 range<\/a>, it’s really hard to narrow the selection down to just 7 colours for this scarf pattern.<\/p>\n

Because it can be hard to see how colours work together just from colour swatch pictures on a screen, I’ve had fun mixing and matching some of the range to make it easier for you see what they look like together.<\/p>\n

Want to make a Mini Stripes Scarf?<\/strong> Here are some of my favourite yarn colour combinations.<\/p>\n

I’ve named them with titles that best describe the colour stories, and have listed the individual colours below for your convenience.<\/p>\n

I’ve used the ‘Sunset’ colours for my knitted scarf, but I really like them all. Both the ‘Ocean’ and ‘Lemon Pie’ combinations are quite unisex and would look nice on both men or women.<\/p>\n
