Knit a Cozy Blanket Scarf

by

I feel like we all could use some cozy knitting projects right now. The Waterbury Plaid Blanket Scarf from Two of Wands is really more like a shawl, and its a fun technique involving knitting stripes and then weaving long strands of yarn through the finished project to make a woven effect.

The weaving also makes the fringe that finishes the edges of the scarf.

This is a really simple and very cool technique that makes the project look a lot more fun (and complicated) without a lot of extra work.

You can grab the free pattern on her website or get a kit with yarn from Lion Brand.

  1. Hello. I am having trouble with the gauge for this pattern. I have the correct yarn mentioned has I bought the kit. I cannot seem to make my 50 stitches on size 11 needles measure to 20 inches. I am getting about 16. The next size needle is 13. What should I do.

  2. I would try it with the larger needles and see if you get gauge and like the way the fabric looks with them. You could also cast on a few more stitches to get to the desired width. This may require more yarn than you have; not sure how much extra is included.

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
