How to: Starbella Knit Ruffle Scarf

Starbella is a unique "yarn" that's really a piece of net. You can use it as it comes from the ball in tape form, or open up the tape and knit or crochet with the loops across the top. We will be using the second method to create this beautiful scarf.



Materials:
  • Starbella Yarn, 1-2 balls
  • US 7 Knitting Needles
  • Optional: Yarn Needle, Sewing Needle and Thread, Gauge

Instructions:

Finished Measurements:
One-Ball scarf measures approximately
4” wide and 44” long. Two-Ball scarf measures approximately 4” wide and 88” long.


  1. Cast on 8 stitches as follows: Pull out a length of yarn and open it up; insert right needle into each loop along top edge, working from back to front.
  2. One-ball scarf: Knit across each row until 1 yard of yarn remains. Bind off all stitches.
  3. Two-ball scarf: Knit across each row until first ball of yarn is used, ending at end of row. Join second ball and continue to work until 1 yard of yarn remains. Bind off all stitches.
Finishing  -Weave in ends. Because this yarn is actually netting, you may prefer to use an optional sewing needle and thread to secure ends; trim close to stitching.

    1. This yarn is so easy to work with, it's a great one for beginning knitters too. I know our price is a little higher than the "Big Box" stores. You can trust that any purchase made at our store benefits our local economy directly. Thanks for the feedback!
