Bread & Butter x Kristine Vejar - Hot Cocoa Scarf Bundle

Drink a cup of hot cocoa while making this simple yet elegant scarf. This scarf is knit on the bias; on every other row, a stitch is added at the beginning and a decrease worked at the end. The result is a fabric with a beautiful drape and one that curls around your neck keeping you warm.

I chose to work with Bread & Butter Bun yarn because it is soft, thick, and made of U.S. Merino wool. Bun is a chunky weight yarn so I knit it on thick US 13 needles. This scarf is a quick knit!

My sample is knit using two colors that are similar in saturation for low contrast: Porcini and Coastal Redwood. Choose similar colors or go bold and graphic and pair a light shade with a dark shade like Inkwell and Soft Serve! This is a relaxing scarf to knit and makes a wonderful gift.

CROCKING
When working with yarn dyed with indigo and with medium to dark shades of natural dyes (especially on slick fibers like mohair), it is common and natural for the dye to rub off on one’s hands while making. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra dye. Your handwork is part of the dyeing process. The dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.

~~~

ALWAYS use pH-neutral soap when blocking and washing natural dyes.

Please note the fiber content of the material you are working with, and follow the applicable instructions: 

Cotton or linen - Machine washable on cool cycle. Lay flat to dry.

Superwash Wool - Machine washable on cool cycle, though hand wash recommended. Lay flat to dry.

Wool and Wool blends - Handwash only in lukewarm water. Lay flat to dry.
