Do this a million times, or until yarn runs out.
Use any size needles, and any yarn. I used sport weight yarn and size 4 needles. Adjust the yarn and needle size to your liking. You can't hardly go wrong.
I didn't do much posting for several months and I forget what I showed you. Here are some scarves I made in the past year or so. This is another potato chip scarf. This one was done with Noro Sock- a nice multi colored skein.
Closeup of my Noro Potato chip scarf.
This pattern is called, Molly. The ruffles are made with short rows... and a ribbed pattern in the center. Fun scarf! I have a pair of purple leather gloves that I wear with this.
I actually made this a couple of years ago. It was my first attempt at entrelac knitting. I used Noro yarn so the color changes just happened. I didn't have to have all those colors of yarn.
This is my "Swirl Scarf". It was a pain in the butt because each swirl was attached separately and there were a bazillion threads to work in. But I LOVE how it turned out!
The two scarves on the left are done with a drop stitch pattern. I've seen it called a "seafoam scarf" or "drop stitch scarf". It's a simple 6 row repeat.... very easy. They were fun to knit.
If you are a member of Ravelry, these are all on my project page. My Ravelry screen name is suehauser.
It's starting to get cold here in Northwest Oregon. I'll have plenty of occasion to wear these scarves now!

All of your scarves are gorgeous.
Such stunning scarfs...I crochet but don't knit well, but I think I am going to try the potato chip scarf..just lovely!
Okaaaaay... I know how to knit and purl.....
But your potato chip scarf? What do you mean by "knit and turn"?
I had visions of me knitting 8 stitches, let's say facing North and turning towards the South to knit 8 more stitches but for the life of me, I really don't know how the scarf would turn out as pretty as yours... :-(
Told you I was Knitting Dysfunctional....
Hopefully (un)Stitched in New Brunswick,

Okaaaaay... never mind! I called up my Mom, to which she replied, "No Rosa! Remember, you need that lacy kind of yarn? And you pick into the lace with your needle... blah, blah, blah, blah"...
Did I tell you I was Knitting Dysfunctional?!??
Anyhow, I said, "NO, MOM! Let me send you her blog link. She seems to do this potato scarf with just regular yarn." To which, she, once again arguing with me and I said.... "Wait till I send you the link!"
Sooooo, I sent her your blog link and I could see her jaw drop, over the phone! LOL
Anyhow, long story short... she explained to me, what a "turn" was. I guess it's less exercise than I thought! LOL
Thanks for the lovely blog and pics! Can I post your link onto my FaceBook page? I'll wait till I get an "Okay" from you before I go ahead and "share" your link. *s*
Tks, once again!

Always wondered how to make a potato chip scarf. Now that I have the directions, I'm going to make one--just as soon as Christmas is over!
Nice work! Swirl is amazing, and I love the entrelac one also.
And to think I thought all you knitted was socks! Wow I am inpressed.
