After watching several video's, I took the best of all of them and have now made about 40 scarves for birthdays and Christmas! After watching someone make a new ball of stretched yarn, I decided there would still be that agrivating thing to do of untwisting the yarn. I got a bathroom tissue empty roll and rolled mine on that. Then I got a bright idea! I bought a free stnading Toilet paper holder for about $14.00 put my redone roll on it and it's so easy to make scarves now. I hope someone takes this idea and really loves the way it works. It's easy to carry around with me and I do several skeens on different rolls and I'm always ready to make another scarf. Everybody in our small town loves this idea and I now have many friends and family members making scarves. I start the roll by taping the end to the roll and when I'm done making the roll, I put a stitch marker through several layers to hold it on until I'm ready to start working on it. Be careful when you are about to take the last of the roll out from under the tape and cut it off, as it will pull the open ends of the thread.

I just finished my 1st. sashay ruffle scarf after watching your video. It turned out awesome. I used the whole skein. All my coats and jackets have hoods. So I wrapped the scarf under my hood, and then tied the ends about collar bone length. then I tucked the ends inside my jacket around each side of my neck, and left the rest hang out of the front of my jacket. It did this kind of flounce that looked just darling. Went to Michaels to buy more of the Sashay, and got 4 complements on my scarf! Thanks for making that great video.

Along the way, I discovered that tightly winding a rubberband on the hook keeps the stitches from sliding off.

@MaggiesCrochet11 жыл бұрын
Hi craftynene , yes the yarn companies do splice pieces together within a skein. The best thing to do is to pick up a loop on either side of the splice, as close to it as possible, then go back to picking up every other loop. The spliced area should fold into the ruffle and be less noticeable. Thanks for watching, and please subscribe to our channel for more great videos. -Denise

I have watched several tutorials on making the ruffle scarves. I've not done these before. I'm seeing different methods re: the number of loops to put on the needle (anywhere from 3-10) and also differing opinions on picking up every other loop vs. every loop. Are you able to explain how these different methods will affect the finished product? Thank you.
@MaggiesCrochet11 жыл бұрын
Hi Jean Stippich , it really all depends on the ruffling yarn you are using. Some of them have larger "loops", so you would skip fewer loops than those with smaller loops. The more loops you pick up before drawing through, the fuller your scarf will be. However, it will also be shorter because you've traded length for fullness. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and Happy Crocheting!

Hi Angie, all ruffling yarn has to be opened out (stretched) in order to use it. When you open it out, you will see that it has a decorative long side, and the opposite side looks like little boxes. You will be working with those boxes, picking up every other one. When you have 10 of them on your hook, you will pick up the next one and pull it through all the loops on your hook. Then you just start over. Give it a try. -Denise
