Autumn is here and we definitely are in the mood to knit more. For knitters is like spring cleaning. We always go through our stash and try to organise it in order to make room for more yarn. This October I promised myself I will not buy more yarn until I use all my previous purchases.
So, in order to make some more space for new creations, I shared some items that I still had in this post on the Facebook Page. Look them up, you might find something you like.
Browsing my yarn stash I found two lovely colour, light green and peach and use them to make this simple, but very cute scarf.
Here is the free pattern:
