Hi! Just finished knitting this scarf in Debbie Bliss Angel and am very pleased with it-really a great pattern. But now wonder how to best block this? Maybe just with steam? Thanks!

Hi Erin – I knit quite fast but I can easily knit it in a day. I’d guess 5 hours ish? It really depends how quickly you knit!

How long did it take you to make this? If you know how many hours “ish” that would be great. Trying to figure if I could get this done by Christmas… btw LOVE this pattern- so luxurious! Can’t wait to make!

Yes, you can make it wider by adding extra rows. The amount of yarn you will need increases considerably if more rows are added.

Would adding more rows to widen be right ?
I just love this. Have made it last winter.

It does it all by its self

Will I need to twist it periodically to get it to corkscrew, or will it do that on its own?

Hi, I love this scarf! I tried to knit similar scarf like this with a beautiful aran weight sequined yarn that I have, last night and I was bored rigid after the 10th row! I just find the knit stitch nice to look at but boring to knit (my fault – attention span of a goldfish!) so I was really pleased to find this pattern, I need something to do the yarn justice and this is perfecto! Plus I was very pleased when I seen that you found such reasonable lurex blending filament! I use Garnstudios but this looks like there is more (have to check but think I’m right). Thanks for the pattern and keep ‘em comin’! x

Hi, just finished a boa version. cast on 200 stitches using two cones of green and a silver thread. Casting off took forever – I had a deadline to meet! It looks fantastic and corkscrews really well.

Hi Phyllis,
So glad you like the scarf! It’s not possible to knit on straight needles because of the large number of stitches on the final rows- they just wouldn’t fit!

Beautiful scarf. I want to do this with straight needles. I purchased a very pretty dressy yarn in Michaels the other day and they are small balls, bought about 8. Have never worked with this yarn so i do not know how it works out but for a spiral thin scarf I think I will use as much of the yarn as I have, therefore, I am afraid to use it on circular needles. Can you transfer the instructions into straight needles and will it be curly like yours. Thanks again, just beautiful. Phyllis

Dear Suzie, I’m trying to knit a similar scarf which I came across elsewhere (I do NOT have the knitting pattern) which uses a 10mm needle and start off with 51 sts and end up with 801 sts. Please advise on possible knitting pattern. Thank you very much.

I don’t think it needs blocking, but I have seen pictures of it being blocked in a spiral. If you are a Ravelry user, you can see a picture from another knitter here: http://www.ravelry.com/projects/florapie/ruffle-lace-scarf

Love this scarf pattern although the cast-off row takes forever! Dumb question – a scarf like this can’t really be blocked, right?

Lovely pattern that worked out well. Made it using Adriafil Carezza angora yarn on 5mm circular needle so ended up smalled which was just what I needed. Ended up with a little bit of decorative fluffiness to keep my neck cosy.

I am wondering about what the yardage is for the scarf since it differs from grams dpending on weight. Is the yardage on this yarn about 200 yds? I also wondered how short I could go on this scarf and if I use a bigger or smaller needle how this would affect it. I have about 65g of Cascade Eco Alpaca that I am thinking about trying.

I love this scarf. I’m going to try it as soon as I can buy some longer circular needles. Thanks so much.

I would like to make this scarf using a silk mohair yarn. A 7mm needle is equivalent to a 10 1/2 or 11, is that correct? Joy Hamon

I found, that this wasn’t long enough, while using size us 5 with a lightweight cashmere, does anyone have any suggestions?
