I have been making a lot of knitted wash cloths for our new home. I am particularly fond of the eyelet edged wash cloth, an easy to carry project for my knitting and crochet projects when visiting, traveling or sitting in waiting rooms. I was working on one of the wash cloths while we were visiting a friend and his young daughter for the afternoon. She was mesmerized by the knitting needles as I worked while chatting. She commented several times how much she loved the edging so I told her I had just the yarn for her so would make her a scarf. The pattern I came up with keeps the eyelet edge. The neck warmer was knit in Redheart worsted weight from my stash of yarn using a 6 oz skein. The label was gone so I don't know the colour code or even if it is made anymore. Any worsted weight yarn will work with this pattern.
