Flamboyant scarf
We´re still enjoying the yarn from Spinn-spinn. This cool, bulky yarn is called Teater, and just looks like a super happy yarn. We´ve mixed it up with a multicoloured mohair yarn, and made an airy scarf with pointy ends and and pom-poms. If you want a similar scarf, we recommend that you buy the handspun yarn first, and then take it to your local yarn shop to find a yarn that works with it.
Gauge
4"=10 stitches
What we used
1 ball Teater
1 ball Mohair Lux
Needles US 15
How we did it
Cast on 3 stitches using the Mohair Lux.
Knit stripes using the bulky yarn where you feel like it. You need to consider how much handspun yarn you´ve got compared to the ordinary yarn. 
The scarf is made using nothing but knit stitches.
Knit 1 row.
On the next row and on every other row you´ll increase one stitch in the first and the last stitch on the row 14 times in total, making a v-shape.
Knit back and forth untile the scarf is 51".
Cast off one stitch in the beginning and the end of every second row 14 times in total.
Cast off the rest of the stitches loosely.
Make pom-poms by winding yarn around three fingers. Then tie some yarn 0.4" from the top. Cut the other end open. Attach the pom-poms to the pointy ends of the scarf.

Love it... it's like cotton candy! So fluffy and pretty!
exquisite. i've done this using a variety of colors and textures. kind of like a scarf of many colors. yours reminds me of candy. so soft and lush.
i tried to print off this pattern for flamboyant scarf and got 21 pages of all the projects with just a few being the scarf. am a fairly new knitter and am going to relook at this pattern but though i've done hats and scarves it seems confusing. i have the mohair and the other yarn but how to combine them? how to add the yarn and do i carry it or just weave it in and then....what. hope someone there can explain because i love this scarf and would love to knit it but it is a confusing pattern to me. hope to hear from someone. happy knitting. cheryl
Beautiful and very whimsical! Thanks so much for sharing. The yarn and colors are great, even for spring.
