Yarn & Substitutions
Yarn Weight: Super Bulky
Yardage: 125 – 135 yards (114 – 123 meters)
Suggested Yarn: Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick
LBT&Q is affordable, washer/dryer friendly & chunky.
Super bulky yarn knits up quick, which is great for my short attention span! ;)
Also, it’s a wool & acrylic fiber blend, which I think is what makes it warmer and more durable than other options.
Alternative Yarn Suggestions:
Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick which is 100% recycled polyester.
Lion Brand HomeTown Yarn which is a 100% acrylic yarn. I’ve used this yarn before and it works interchangeably with LB Thick & Quick.
I recommend checking out YarnSub.com for other yarn options. They’re an excellent resource!
I wrote about other super bulky and not so super bulky yarns that you can read more about yarn alternatives & substitutions here.

Details
Measurement: 6″ wide x 53″ (15cm x 153cm)
Weight: 7.4oz (210g)
Notes
Not reversible.
CO edge is the width.
Knit using the baby fern knit stitch.
Modification Options
A few rows of garter stitch at the beginning and end would help keep the ends from curling. However, fringe would be cute too!
You could add a third skein of yarn to make it longer.
If you’d like to make it wider, cast-on in multiples of 9+6. The 6 stitches are the edge stitches.
