Felted Braided Colors Scarf
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: 16 stitches + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) before felting. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

With the new leftmost Strip, repeat the weaving process. Continue to work from left to right to braid Strips. Clip Strips together at end of braid. With doubled strand of D in large-eyed needle, sew Strips together at each end, removing clips. Sew ends of braid together to form a loop.

| This is awesome! I've never tried felting before, and this piece looks like it would be a good place to start. As soon as I finish all my winter/Christmas gifts for everyone, I will be making this for myself! I think it would be a great indoor scarf over a sweater, for extra warmth in place of a shawl. So cool!
