Thank you so much for this video. I had bought yarn to make a spiral scarf and the instructions were different. I made a swatch and could not understand why anyone would make one scarf let alone many. This is wonderful! Thank you.
I love your videos, and this one has been an elusive "bucket list project" for me. With your help, I will FINALLY be able to make these for my family. Thank you.
You need circular needles to accommodate the large number of stitches you end up with. You could have up to a thousand (or more) stitches, which is far too many for straight needles.
Wow! 8,000 stitches! God bless you! I was looking to see how many skeins I should buy (1 or 2) and came across your comment. I would love to see a picture of your scarf! In the meantime, I think I'll pick up 2 skeins to be safe. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for such a fast reply :) I just wasn't sure about the thickness if that would make a difference in the amount of skeins and having it all fit on the needle, the 960 stitches is pushing it for my needle already :)
I am done and I love it.I will make another one and I will make it a little longer next time..I love your video.I am off to work on my next project...I have been looking for a video on a hat with earflaps for a boy of age 2-7...tysm
I have knitted two scarves with the potato chip method and they took forever and I got a bit bored with working on them, but I love the look of them and want more of them!!!. Did you find this method quicker?
I was wondering if you could tell me what yarn would be best to use for this curly scarf if I wanted to find differnt colors? I love the colors that Lion has but I had a friend ask me if I could make her one in Blues and there really isn't one in the Lion Brand. And by the way I love your posts I find them VERY helpful in my new hobby of knitting :) Thank you
Ty and I love your video ,but I have a little problem.I was looking at my work and the 2 end are knitted together.I am I going to have to start over....
I have a size 10.5 circular needles. And the length of the cable is about 38 inches, I think. I just couldn't find the size you are using in this video. Do you think this size would be ok? I don't think I'm going to be making it an amazingly long length. Thanks for your input!
If I want the spiral scarf to hang down to my waist when hung over my neck, about how many chain stitches should I start with? Will the initial chain length reflect the finished length OR because of the spiral, does it need to be twice as long as you desire the finished length?
I'm having trouble with the tightness of the stitches. It's really difficult to increase the stitches. Do you have any advice on that? I do try to make my stitches a little loose, but it still seems too tight.
cool...i have done this scarf in crochet, but never imagined that it could be knit (giddy)!!! questions: with the 100 stitches you cast-on, how long is the finished product? how many balls of yarn? i wanted to do this scarf for a child, how many cast-on stitches would you recommend? what size needle are you using? thank you!!!
Ty but do not know what frog back,is...I will just start over due to I need to get a longer cord and I need the practice.Hope I do it right the 2nd time around.(:I will check your video again....
Hi, I recently bought my first pair of circular needles to knit this scarf. Is there a trick to getting the cord to straighten out? I've tried to knit with them curled ( I bought the Susan Bates velocity needles) but the weight of the yarn/work didn't straighten them out. Please help! And thank you for putting out great videos!!
Do you really knit with cat fur? How did you turn it into yarn? I've tried to do it, but usually just get tufts that look like felt out of the fur (That comes out of the brush).
Can you tell me what needle size you are using here. They look like maybe a 10 but I can not tell? By the way I love your videos I just taught myself how to knit and I have enjoyed watching your videos>
Is there any reason you are using the specific increase that you used? I don't love doing that increase and was wondering if just doing a yarn over would create a problem. I am doing that on mine and all I can tell is mine is more open and airy with holes. I am not sure if that will be a problem though. I am new to knitting and don't know all the why and what for rules. Thanks for the video it really helped me realize I can do this. :)
I have a question, what if I didn't want that deep of spirals on my scarf (would like the deep waves), could I do the same and not increase every stitch? Maybe increasing every other or third stitch?
Good morning. My name is Mabel, and I would like to know if you could teach us , how to make a scarf using short row. I have one photograph but I can show you here in youtube´s site. If you allow me I´d like to leave the link. I love this scarf but I don´t know how could I make it. Thanks, and sorry about my bad English. The name of the site is : achei o ponto cachecóis , in the end of the page there´s a spiral scarf. It´s fantastic! Please , could you help me?! thanks anyway. Mabel
My first spiral scarf was done in a very light fluffy mohair. I wanted it longer so cast on extra stitches. In my zeal of increasing, I wound up having to bind off almost 8,000 stitches! The scarf is gorgeous, but I had to buy a second ball of that expensive yarn.
Sorry, I don't have this scarf or this yarn anymore to look at, I have no idea what the ply was. If by ply you mean the weight, the Lion Brand website says 4 Medium / Worsted. You can click the link in the video description for needle size and other info.
You have such great videos, and you've became one of my favorites! I just came upon this tutorial on this project, and it us quite easy! Could I go beyond 100 to have a little mire width to this scarf? I know that you suggested 125 stitches for one viewer. Will this amount make it a little wider? I like having width to it.
Yes, more stitches should give more width. I haven't found anything anywhere about how to calculate stitch count for length on these though; I tried one with worsted weight yarn and 400 stitches. The scarf turned out so long, it dragged on the ground. I never wore it.
great video, easy to understand instructions, thanks, i have done this once already, and it looks just like yours, and am now ready to cast of my second. guess what all the females in my family are getting for christmas.
Thanks for watching! I'd love to see your finished projects, feel free to stop by my facebook page and share some pictures facebook.com/sapphiresnpurlsknitting
Hi again! OMG this is so beautiful, i really want to make this. I have a couple of questions - 1) Whats the difference between this one and the potato chip - which one is more ruffled in your opinion? and 2) For this scarf, If I'm using 3.5 mm needles and "Sport/fine" weight yarn, please could you let me know a good number of stitches to first cast on (for a 5 ft 5" woman)? - thank you again!!
This one increases in stitch count, the potato chip scarf is worked in short rows where the stitch count remains the same. This one seems more ruffly to me. As for stitch count, you'd need to check your gauge with the yarn and needles you'll be using. These ones are a bit tricky to determine length on - you'll probably want around.... 100-125 stitches to start. Maybe check ravelry for spiral scarf patterns, then sort by yarn weight and see how many stitches are cast on to help give you a better idea.
+noamarom25 I don't know what your gauge is, and this isn't graded for a baby, but try 20 and increase only twice. Obviously you don't want it too long to avoid possible strangulation.

Love it! I am finally going to be able to make one of the scarves I've wanted to make for a long time!
Thanks for the easy instructions!!
absolutley beautiful. In Romania we do not find that kind of yarn...the color is absolutley "amazing" they are right naming it!
good working/knitting!
I am done and I love it.I will make another one and I will make it a little longer next time..I love your video.I am off to work on my next project...I have been looking for a video on a hat with earflaps for a boy of age 2-7...tysm
You have a wonderful voice for doing videos, thank you for doing the Potato chip scarf.
I didn't want holes in mine, so chose not to use a yo as the increase. You can use any increase you like, it doesn't matter. Whatever your preference!
I have knitted two scarves with the potato chip method and they took forever and I got a bit bored with working on them, but I love the look of them and want more of them!!!. Did you find this method quicker?

very clear and good vidio,cant wait to try and knit one thankyou
i like this look but i don't know how to knit do you know how to do it in crochet?
thank you.
Thanks for this creative clip. I'm starting my own spiral scarf now!
I'm having trouble with the tightness of the stitches. It's really difficult to increase the stitches. Do you have any advice on that? I do try to make my stitches a little loose, but it still seems too tight.

Hi...how many cast ons would I need if I want to make this spiral scarf for an adult using a 8mm needle?
Do you really knit with cat fur? How did you turn it into yarn? I've tried to do it, but usually just get tufts that look like felt out of the fur (That comes out of the brush).
Question, if I use a smaller needle with a cotton yarn can I achieve a tighter denser ruffle?
Can you tell me what needle size you are using here. They look like maybe a 10 but I can not tell? By the way I love your videos I just taught myself how to knit and I have enjoyed watching your videos>

How many increase rows did u do for that scarf and how many stitches did u use for it ❓
for this scarf, how much yarn did you use? As in, how many skeins of ______ size yarn did u use? and this was just plain garter stitch right?
How many stitches, please ...
thank U for sharing with us, lovely!
Thanks for sharing. This looks so much faster than using the sashay yarn,
I have a question, what if I didn't want that deep of spirals on my scarf (would like the deep waves), could I do the same and not increase every stitch? Maybe increasing every other or third stitch?
When you say you "knit 3 rows", are you turning your work on the 2nd row and KNITTING? Or PURLING (so it is all knitting on the one side)?
would i be able to purchase them at crafts stores
IT IS VERY EASY AND BEAUTIFULL AS WELL ... I AM GOING TO KNIT FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTER...
THANKS DEAR...
You're welcome, feel free to pop over to my facebook page and share a picture of your finished project!
Can I use normal needles instead of circular needles?
Good morning. My name is Mabel, and I would like to know if you could teach us , how to make a scarf using short row. I have one photograph but I can show you here in youtube´s site.

need to get pattern for this scarf. how do i get this pattern?
how meny ball of the yarn did you use?
My first spiral scarf was done in a very light fluffy mohair. I wanted it longer so cast on extra stitches.
In my zeal of increasing, I wound up having to bind off almost 8,000 stitches! The scarf is gorgeous, but I had to buy a second ball of that expensive yarn.
How many number of stitches you made and how many times did you double the stitches?
binding off is the process of removing the project from the needles
Just wondering what ply wool and size needles you used
Sorry, I don't have this scarf or this yarn anymore to look at, I have no idea what the ply was. If by ply you mean the weight, the Lion Brand website says 4 Medium / Worsted. You can click the link in the video description for needle size and other info.
Beautiful scarf! Thank-you. I am going to make one! (I knit just like you!)
How long would you say this took you? Thanks for the upload!
I cant figure out how you did the back stitch i watched ur video like 4 times and still cant figure it out please help thx
what brand circular needles are you using, please. the needle looks long as well. Is the join from needle to cord smooth?
I think I used addi clicks; the join is not quite as smooth as Knitter's Pride or Chiao Goo needles I find.
where did you get your yarn from and what is it called again? ;)
I LOVE THE IDEA OF DOING ONE!!!!
How long did it take you to complete this scarf?
You have such great videos, and you've became one of my favorites! I just came upon this tutorial on this project, and it us quite easy! Could I go beyond 100 to have a little mire width to this scarf? I know that you suggested 125 stitches for one viewer. Will this amount make it a little wider? I like having width to it.

How much wool do u use and is it stocking stitch u use how long do u knit for

I'm actually knitting this scarf. I want to know will a knitted border attached to the finished scarf look good?
Caroline Fernandes That's subjective. If you think it would look good then add a border.
Do you knit straight on this needle or did you join the round?
You are working flat, not joining to work in the round.
Wat is binding off?
Thank you! It's really a pretty scarf

Good idea; Thank you!! xx
Excellent video!!!
How many Stiches should I start with for a scarf for a 1 year old baby?
And how many increases should I make?
Thanks!
+noamarom25 That really depends on what weight yarn you use and your gauge.
+iknitwithcatfur what it it's the same as in the video?
+noamarom25 I don't know what your gauge is, and this isn't graded for a baby, but try 20 and increase only twice. Obviously you don't want it too long to avoid possible strangulation.
noamarom25 as it is in the video would be much too long and bulky for a little one.
What size of needle did you use?
