On The Needles: Garter stitch scarf in Frolicking Feet

Sometimes a yarn is so beautiful, you want to let it do all the talking. No fussy stitch patterns, no fancy shapes, just 100% hand-dyed gorgeousness.

This garter stitch scarf Rocio's making is a perfect example.

Stunning, right?

Rocio fell in love with this skein of Frolicking Feet in colorway 13, Southwest Gem. This sock yarn isn't just for socks, obviously! Rocio wanted to make a scarf, but not one that had to be saved for special occasions. With 29 stitches cast onto a size US 8 needle, Frolicking Feet makes a wonderfully drapey fabric for a scarf that will go with many kinds of outfits when the weather gets cool. Knitting every stitch lets the yarn be the star.
