A couple of months ago I came across this Paton’s Glam Stripes yarn at Michaels on clearance and I purchased quite a few of the colors.  I figured I would be able to design some pretty new accessory patterns with it.

I am sharing a couple of the projects I made with the yarn and a free diagonal lace scarf knitting pattern.  If you click on the red highlighted text it will take you to the pdf pattern that I designed.  Below is a photo of the scarf pattern.

This scarf is a great lightweight accessory.  The pattern is fairly simple – a 2 row repeat and features bias (diagonal) ends.

This scarf is super quick and easy to knit, too.  It is knit on size US 8 knitting needles.  You can use other yarns, not just the Paton’s Glam Stripes, but I like how it turned out with the coral Glam yarn and the glitter parts on the bias.

I also knitted a shrug in the navy blue Glam Stripes yarn.  The shrug pattern is available in my etsy shop.  It features an openwork knitting stitch and is also pretty simple to knit.

I like how it turned out with the Glam yarn and I am looking forward to knitting more with this pattern and other yarns.  I love to take a pattern and experiment with different yarns or even different needle sizes and see what I can create.  Sometimes it can look totally different than the original I designed.

I am still working on my crochet project that I started a couple of months ago with the Glam Stripes yarn in black.  I seem to be knitting or sewing more lately than crocheting so it is coming along slowly.

I hope you are enjoying the beginning of August and are getting some crocheting or knitting done.  I currently have a few projects going and I will be sharing more of those in the coming weeks.

Have a great day!
