Starry Night is a furry yarn with sparkle. What girl wouldn't want to feel sexy and fabulous at the same time? This is a project you can do in an evening and still be able to go out afterwards to show off your work. I think you'll be surprised how warm these little guys can be as well. It's like wearing a scarf without any excess to deal with. I think that means these are practical to boot. Make some for your grandma and see what she thinks.
Gauge:
It's a little hard to tell since you can't see the stitches. 10 stitches is about 2.25" on #10.5 needles
Supplies:
- #10.5 knitting needles
- Less than 1 skein of Starry night in color of choice
- .24" silk ribbon in color of choice (purchased at local craft store)
Yarn Substitution
Starry night is a very thick a luxurious eyelash yarn with it's own bit of sparkle. Substitute another eyelash yarn, doubling it if necessary to achieve a very dense result.
Stitches used:
- Garter Stitch
- YO
- K2tog

BO and weave in ends
Finishing
Cut a couple feet of ribbon and lace through YO holes at either end of choker and wrist cuffs. Trim as needed. I found that I did not need to tie and untie cuffs since I could fit it, fastened, over my hand, but the choker needs to be laced and unlaced to be put on, so keep that in mind when trimming ends.
