Instant Gratification Scarf
I don’t know if I’d even call this a pattern. It’s too simple to be a pattern.
This is a really, really quick scarf (hence the name) that is perfect for big crazy thick-and-thin yarn, when you want to show off the texture and make the most of a small amount of yarn. Drop-stitch patterns really make a little yarn go a long way.

The resulting scarf looks the same one both sides, has a bit more structure to it than a regular drop stitch scarf, and is surprisingly cozy (especially if you use MMMMalabrigo, yum).

I’m trying to identify some yarn that I bought on a cone & am wondering if it’s Malabrigo Aquarella in Coronilla. Could you please have a look at the link below & let me know what you think? I’m using it to make ‘My So Called Scarf’.

Many thanks
27 May 2007 at 5:27 pmI don’t know whether to reply here or on your blog, hopefully you see this… anyway, I think it could be Aquarella, but I’m not sure. The colour looks right for Coronilla. What I can’t quite tell from the pic is whether the texture matches up. Aquarella is single ply and thick-and-thin, and fuzzes very quickly. If that sounds like your yarn, then it may well be Aquarella.
27 May 2007 at 5:41 pmThanks for this. I’ve only just seen your comment. It is thick & thin & does fuzz easily so I think it is the same yarn.
I’ve found another scarf in exactly the same colour on Ravelry so think it is Aquarella but I used 6mm needles & the other was knitted on 9mm.
