As a knitting pattern designer, every now and then it’s nice to knit from a pattern that’s already been written. To simply follow the instructions and just relax with my yarn and needles.
So I decided to knit another Orbit scarf with one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh DK (100% Merino; 206 m / 225 yds per 100 g).
While I was knitting, I actually managed to lose the yarn label and couldn’t remember the colorway. Luckily, we have Ravelry! Thanks to all the stash and project photos there, I was able to track down the color name. (It’s Thoreau in case you’re interested.)
Orbit is a fun and relaxing knit with garter stitch and eyelet stripes.
It’s quick and easy to make. All you need is just one skein of DK-weight yarn, so it’s perfect for those single skeins we all have in our stash.
The elongated triangle shape is easy to wrap around your neck. Orbit is also a great pattern for gift knitting, because it works up so quickly. You can get it done in just a couple of nights.
