I think I have answered one of life's great mysteries: how can I wear a patchwork scarf while still having yummy softness around my neck? I'm not sure there are words to describe how perfectly soft this knit is. I don't know anything about knits, or what kind of knit this is, but I wish I did. I want to live in this stuff.
Ingredients: a half yard of super soft knit from the remnant rack, 20 almost-one-inch hexagons
Recipe: fold the knit in half the long way, right sides together, stitch up the open sides, leaving a 3 inch hole in the middle of the long seam. Turn right side out, stitch hole closed by hand. Applique hexagons. Apply to neck. Let out a deep sigh.
I had planned to applique the hexies on a skirt. Then I saw Jen making her scarves on sewing night and had to acknowledge that summer was indeed ending. I did not follow Jen's sage advice about sewing the scarf into a loop to keep the toddler from yanking on it, and so I was nearly throttled this afternoon. I then discovered the super short double loop shown above so my life is no longer in danger.

One can never go wrong with a hexie accessory. Tres Chic
Really smart looking!
Love the scarf - what a neat idea adding those cute hexagons. Just gives it that something special. Bet you are going to be cosy this winter. Ciao
It is great! A true "one of a kind." Just wait for all the compliments and people wanting one just like it.
Nice work!
My guess is that is merino or an alpaca blend.
I have so many scarfs, I never wear any of them.
I am a really hot person generally, must be all the natural layers! ;)
Beautiful work ... and fun Scarf history of the Rat!!
I have not practiced quilting ... soon will hear ...
A hug!
Looks fun and comfy! Enjoy!
Very lovely! I really like it and wish I could wrap myself up in it right now!
I love scarves. Not much excuse to where them here, but I do love them.
Great scarf. I'm off to the fabric shop to find some soft jersey

It's so pretty! I love the hexagon touch. You should totally still do the hexagons on a skirt. then you'll match! Too much?
