Malabrigo Aquarella ScarfI just had to make the scarf out of this yarn. I was thinking, and talking to my wonderfully supportive husband, and decided that not everyone is as picky as I am about scarf softness. Even I’m not so picky as I seem, as I have a wool knit scarf (not made by me) that’s kinda rough which I still wear (and love). It’s going to keep her warm, and hopefully she’ll love the colors.

You may be able to see in the picture that I decided to make the scarf ribbed, so it can be reversible. I tried to think of the various ways I could make the scarf with stockinette, but in the end reversible is what became most important. I was unsure how the k2,p2 ribbing would look with this yarn as it’s normally a nice clean simple style. It seems to be working out wonderfully with this thick and thin yarn. I love this yarn more and more as I knit it. The best part about knitting with a thicker yarn is that the project will be completed more quickly!
