Entwined
published in knitty in September 2007: free!
Combining a simple scarf with fingerless mitts, my favorite accessory (I hate confined fingers, and it's easy to curl fists inside to warm up), this project is just barely more complex than the most basic garter stitch scarf, but much more unique and interesting, both to knit and to wear. Knitting in garter stitch across length-wise creates so much stretch in the mitts that they will easily fit any sized hands (making this a great gift item!) and allows vertical striping opportunities not possible with most knit scarves. Wearing this is fun and cozy, all wrapped up in wool. Just be careful not to get tangled with purse straps - it's easy to do, trust me!
