Giveaway: Scarves in the Round

August 3, by Sarah White. 43 Comments

scarves in the round

Ellen is our winner!

I don’t quite want to admit how quickly the weather will likely start to turn cool again. I’m still working on projects I hope to have done in time to wear this summer, but I know it’s time to start thinking about fall and winter knitting, too.

So it’s the perfect time to talk about Heather Walpole’s fun book, Scarves in the Round. The book includes 25 patterns for cowls, tube scarves, neck warmers and ponchos, all worked in the round with circular knitting needles. There’s a lot of Stockinette Stitch (and some really lovely yarns) here, as well as projects that use lace, cables, colorwork and bobbles.

It’s a great beginner’s guide to working in the round, but also has projects that knitters with some experience with circular knitting (and the other techniques involved) are sure to enjoy, too. And there are projects that span the seasons, from some that would be perfectly appropriate on cool summer nights to those that are great for the dead of winter.

If you’d like a chance to win this book (American readers only, please!), leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, August 9. I’d love to know what you like to knit in the round, if that’s a technique you’ve used before. I like it for just about anything, from sweaters to socks to cowls.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

    Sounds like a great book. I have never tries to knit an infinity scarf and it is on my rather long “to do” list. Thanks for the giveaway and the review of this book. I may have to add it on my “to buy” list…I know…SOOOO many lists and SOOOO little time!

    Just really getting in to knitting! My cousin is guiding me. I learned how to crochet as a child from my mom, but I could never get into knitting…but, it’s on my bucket list. And I love scarves! So this would be perfect.

    I have done some infinity scarves, but want to branch out and do socks.

    My favorite thing to knit in the round is hats, but I also just knit my first pair of socks this past winter!

    Actually, I don’t knit at all, but my favorite neice does, and this would provide her with a little distraction when she needs it while she is in pharmacy school and needs a break… thanks!

    I love scarves and knitting in the round. This book sounds like a lot of fun and would be a welcome addition to my knitting library. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I have been learning to knit hats, not very good at it yet.

    I love knitting in the round. I am still a newbie to this method of knitting and always looking for patterns. Even tho I live in So Ca I wear a scarf..they add so much to your outfit..I even made one for my pooch…..

    i have never tried knitting in the round so would love to win this book to learn how.

    I am drawn to cowls and knitting in the round. It is my favorite past time. Living in the north, we wear warm neck ware over 6 months a year! I love the colors of the circular scarf on the model – multicolored and it looks so luxurious.

  13. Jeane Howell says

    August 3, 2015 at 1:23 pm

    Knitting in the round and infinity scarves both would expand my knitting. Thank you for the drawing.

    I would love to learn how to knit a tube scarf in the round!

    Looks like a great thing to push me in the direction of knitting in the round and round. I’ve knit many socks on DPNs but only a few scarves that way. I imagine scarves knit up this way are ultra-warm and I could stand some encouragement to go in that direction:) Finger crossed!

    I have knit only a few things in the round. I have done a cowl and actually I did a dress for a niece and then of course I knit the neck portion in the round to sweaters. I would love to knit more in that manner .

  17. Anne Dawson says

    August 3, 2015 at 1:49 pm

    I Have never knitted an infinity scarfs would love to try it!

    My mom enjoys knitting useful and attractive items for us. I think she would really enjoy learning some new skills to expand her repertoire.

  19. Coreen says

    August 3, 2015 at 3:27 pm

    I love infinity scarves and would love to try out these patterns.

  20. Barb says

    August 3, 2015 at 3:46 pm

    I’ve knit quite a few thing in the round. I like that when you’re done, it’s basically finished, no seaming. Always looking for new patterns. Thanks for the chance to win the book.

  21. Amanda says

    August 3, 2015 at 3:56 pm

    My favorite thing to knit in the round is a hat for my husband. He loves to wear hats in the winter and I love seeing how excited he is when I finish one.

  22. annehaun says

    I have never tried knitting in the round and would love to give it a try. I see so many patterns using this technique – would love to make hats and an afghan.

    I knit just about anything in the round…because I don’t like seaming up knitted items 🙂 Thanks for the chance at the book!

    I think this would be a great intro to knitting in the round! Thanks for the chance!!

    I am really into the loom knitting (sure wish you could get some patterns for that) and I believe I could adjust the patterns in this book for a loom. I have really been wanting to do this type of scarf. I knit all year long, hats and scarves for cancer patients at our local hospital getting chemotherapy so some new patterns would come in very handy.

  33. Deb says

    August 4, 2015 at 1:00 pm

    I have knitted so many scarves, there should not be a cold neck in the United States but have never done one in the round. (Am ashamed to say I am just a creature of habit) but it is high time I start NOW :). Thank you for your give away. What a kind thing do do for complete strangers!!!!

  34. Becky Beaudoin says

    August 4, 2015 at 1:23 pm

    I would LOVE this book! I thoroughly enjoy knitting in the round (now that I finally figured out how to do it!), and am always looking for new patterns to try. 🙂

    Seems I am always entering your contests… at least for knitting books as it is the only hobby I really love… but I never see where the winners are listed. And other giveaways on your sites always headline the winners. Do you really give knitting books away? I just looked and the last three books you have done giveaways for don’t indicate anyone won….

    I love circular needles for projects with a lot of stitches. I just finished a hat-in-the round class and have started a sock class. This is exciting and scary at the same time. I can’t wait to knit my first sleeves in the round. Won’t they be pretty?

    Thanks so much for this offer. I love reading the blog. 🙂

  37. Becky says

    August 5, 2015 at 11:22 am

    I’ve only tried knitting in the round once before, and it was a disaster. I’d love some patterns to encourage a second try!

  38. Charlotte says

    August 5, 2015 at 8:22 pm

    My first knitting project was in the round using toothpicks – Shelton the Turtle from Knit Picks. I prefer knitting in the round – far less purling for one thing.

  39. cwknitnut says

    In the round? Doilies are my favorite; but I LOVE to wear cowls so they are what I knit in the round most!

  40. Karey says

    August 7, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    I love making scarves and cowls. Cowls are my favorite to make in the round. There is just something fun about watching them develop and you knit/crochet.

  41. Ellen Toothacker says

    August 8, 2015 at 11:08 pm

    I knit in the round as much as I can; hats, socks, sweaters, etc. My most challenging so far was a moebius cowl.

    I love to knit in the round and would love the book!

    sounds awesome!!! I would love to have it. I just knitted my first hat in the round and it wasn’t as easy as I thought.. I was very proud of this accomplishment.
