I love quick projects because it allows me to get last minute gifts done, and it's pretty instant gratification too! :)

Even quick projects make beautiful gifts!!

This is beautiful! I like to knit quick projects like this and keep them on hand to give as gifts.
Posted by: BarbaraR | May 08, 2012 at 05:14 AM
Quick knits are my basic go-to patterns. I never have enough knitting time.
Posted by: Sharon Michalove | May 08, 2012 at 05:22 AM
Small projects like this one are a great way to share handmade gifts with those who appreciate them without committing weeks or months to a project.
Posted by: Kym | May 08, 2012 at 05:25 AM
Quick knits are finished knits!
Posted by: Sidna | May 08, 2012 at 05:27 AM
This is a much more glamourous version of an old basic pattern - quick to knit but full of charm.
Posted by: Barb. | May 08, 2012 at 05:27 AM
It's beautiful. Just learning to knit. This would be a wonderful project.
Posted by: Zannee C | May 08, 2012 at 05:29 AM
Nothing like a homemade gift. I try to give homemade gifts whenever I can.
Posted by: Susan B. | May 08, 2012 at 05:31 AM
They make brilliant gifts; especially for putting smiles on peoples faces when they need it most.

beautiful pattern! beautiful yarn! Rav amchart
Posted by: Anne Marie | May 08, 2012 at 05:44 AM
With 4 kids, 4 dogs, 5 acres and 17 alpacas, quick projects are my saving grace. I can take them everywhere, to all the kids activities. I have 3 or 4 project bags that I can just grab and go when I'm running out the door.
Posted by: Jennie | May 08, 2012 at 05:46 AM
I love that little projects come together so quickly - it's so gratifying to have something out of "nothing"! Thanks for the giveaway offer!
Posted by: Linnea | May 08, 2012 at 05:47 AM
I love quick projects like this because I am always knitting my gifts at the last minute and often give them with the needles still attached. But my friends don't mind especially when the gift is this pretty.
Posted by: Karen Johnson | May 08, 2012 at 05:49 AM
I am always so inspired to knit and crochet when I see your beautiful yarns and patterns. Just love the quick knits. What a wonderful gift to give with such beautiful yarns. Thank you SweaterBabe.
Posted by: Phyllis | May 08, 2012 at 05:58 AM
I like little quick projects like this one because they I can work on them while I sit and listen to a recorded book with my husband who is confined to a nursing home.
Posted by: Crystal | May 08, 2012 at 05:58 AM
Aewsome quick projects keep me motivated to get it finished.
Posted by: Penny | May 08, 2012 at 06:00 AM

I love quick knit projects. This one, with the chosen yarn, looks like it would be fun to finish.
Posted by: Granny H | May 08, 2012 at 06:10 AM
I am a last minute type person, so quick gifts are perfect for me and I love scarves, so this would be a doubley wonderful prize
Posted by: Cindy | May 08, 2012 at 06:10 AM
I love quick projects that use interesting stitches like this one! A great learning/teaching project - count me in!
Posted by: Diane B | May 08, 2012 at 06:16 AM
Love this scarf because of the many different stitches involved. I also truly love that blue color.
Posted by: stefanievpb | May 08, 2012 at 06:18 AM
I am such a knitting fiend, I love to make things for everyone I know and quick patterns allow me to do more, faster! Plus, the scarf is beautiful!
Posted by: Margay | May 08, 2012 at 06:21 AM

Thanks so much for offereing it.

I love quick knits - they are instant gratification and this one looks super soft and cozy!
Posted by: Laurel C. | May 08, 2012 at 06:26 AM
I like to knit quick patterns in between the other challenging projects I am knitting...sometimes the mind and fingers need a little break...this pattern is both quick and lovely!
Posted by: Lynda Franczek | May 08, 2012 at 06:27 AM
Quick knits are fun to make and such nice pick me ups to encourage and keep me going on the larger, more intricate projects - and an added bonus when they are like this gorgeous little scarfette - going to have to make a few of these!
Posted by: Debbie S | May 08, 2012 at 06:34 AM
This scarf looks so lush and cozy. What a great gift for a special friend or even for me!!!!!
Posted by: b schwarz | May 08, 2012 at 06:34 AM
How beautiful! The yarn looks so soft, just the type I'd want close to me!
Posted by: Aimee | May 08, 2012 at 06:35 AM
Quick gifts like this are great because they are still special handmade items the recipient will treasure but easy for me to whip up in time for a birthday or other gift-giving occasion!
Posted by: Elizabeth | May 08, 2012 at 06:37 AM
I love quick knit gift projects to try out new techniques.
Posted by: Kristen G-I | May 08, 2012 at 06:39 AM
I am a serial knitter (many projects in various stages !) keeping a smaller project on the needles keeps the momentum going and the boredom down! Love the scarflette.
Posted by: Kyle Smith | May 08, 2012 at 06:42 AM
I love quick knit gifts. Giving someone something handmade is a great feeling.
Posted by: Tina | May 08, 2012 at 06:50 AM
Quick projects using special yarn make a unique gift without getting bored with the knitting process. The gift looks like you spent hours on it yet you can be done with it and on to another wonderful gift.
Posted by: Pat | May 08, 2012 at 06:54 AM
Lovely pattern and beautiful yarn! Would look great with the "Bling Bling" sprinkled in my hair, LOL. Creating something beautiful to wear is so rewarding. Thank you for the chance to win...PICK ME!
Posted by: Lorrie Bastian | May 08, 2012 at 06:56 AM
Simple, elegant, beautiful!
Posted by: Courtney | May 08, 2012 at 07:07 AM
I love to surprise a friend with an unsuspected gift as a morale booster. This lovely scarflette would be perfect!
Posted by: Joyce Skogen | May 08, 2012 at 07:07 AM
I like quick projects not only for gifts, but also for charity. Even those in need like to have pretty thing such as this lovely scarflette! I would choose a more easy to care for yarn, but it would be great to keep tucked in a pocket.
Posted by: Janie Holley | May 08, 2012 at 07:19 AM
I like to knit quick gift items like the Lush Scarflette because I can try out yarns, patterns, and techniques and still end up with a great gift for a dear friend.
Posted by: Mary Saunders | May 08, 2012 at 07:20 AM
Oh what a lovely scarflette and color! This would make such a great quick gift!
Posted by: CarolynW | May 08, 2012 at 07:25 AM
I love this yarn. I made a cowl of it and it is beautiful
Posted by: Gayle Cox | May 08, 2012 at 07:38 AM
I love making gifts, and this would be perfect for a coworker at Christmas.
Posted by: Karen | May 08, 2012 at 07:58 AM
I make hats and scarves for the "Mission Services" clients and love to have new patterns to make the knitting interesting.
Posted by: Adele | May 08, 2012 at 07:58 AM
I like small project because they are easy to travel with and quick to get done. You can get alot of small gifts done in a small amount of time.
Posted by: Betty Stenrose | May 08, 2012 at 07:59 AM
i seldom buy gifts. i just started knitting last year and i am trying to enlarge my small project pattern stash. i also embroider, tat, machine and hand sew. i'm still so slow with my knitting that if i give somthing to some one its going to be a washcloth. i'd love to try this scarflette and i already know who would receive it. thank you for the chance.
Posted by: Terri Sue | May 08, 2012 at 08:03 AM
quick knits are awesome for around the holidays, i tend to start everything at the last min, i get things done quickly and everyone gets a gift!
Posted by: Trisha M | May 08, 2012 at 08:19 AM
I like quick knits like this for gifts and who wouldn't like a pretty scarf. I really like the blue color too and the yarn looks scrumptious!
Posted by: Ingrid | May 08, 2012 at 08:34 AM
I love quick projects because as a newish knitter part of the fun is starting and seeing what evolves from each particular combination of stitches. And we obviously get there faster with a quick knit. :-)
Posted by: colleen | May 08, 2012 at 08:36 AM
I'm already anticipating knitting several of these for my coworkers' holiday gifts this year! Have made a selection of hats, scarves previously. A small project is great fun to sit & knit with a friend, so you can visit and compare projects!
Posted by: johanna | May 08, 2012 at 08:41 AM
I love small projects because it doesn't cost much for the yarn and they finish quickly. Thanks!
Posted by: Debbie H | May 08, 2012 at 08:46 AM
There's a sense of accomplishment in finishing something so pretty in a short amount of time
Posted by: mary | May 08, 2012 at 09:05 AM
Quick projects don't add to my stress level by feeling like another "to do" on the list.
Posted by: Vivette Ashen-Brenner | May 08, 2012 at 09:14 AM
Small projects are the only knitting I can get done during my kids' nap times! I don't know how you knit so much, SweaterBabe! You must be a Supermamma!
Posted by: Melissa P. | May 08, 2012 at 09:18 AM
I would love to try this.
Posted by: Denise Royal | May 08, 2012 at 09:26 AM
I love quick knits for the instant gratification aspect. Don't get me wrong, I love long, complicated projects too, but sometimes a quick knits is a nice break!
Posted by: Mujercita | May 08, 2012 at 09:28 AM
I have three grown daughters to knit for and seven grandkids....I don't have time for long projects if I want to get my Christmas knitting done!!!
Posted by: Heidi | May 08, 2012 at 09:34 AM
Lushy and lovely! I adore this pattern!!
Posted by: Charlene G. | May 08, 2012 at 10:17 AM
I like quick knit projects for the instant gratification!
Posted by: Kenyetta | May 08, 2012 at 10:22 AM
It looks like a nice project to make and I know exactly who would love receiving it! My Mom :)
Posted by: MarieAnge Brouillard | May 08, 2012 at 10:29 AM
I love the silhouette of this scarf, sometimes having to knot the scarf makes it appear too bulky, but this is very delicate. It would make a fabulous mother's day gift!!
Posted by: Amy Fernandez | May 08, 2012 at 10:33 AM
I love quick knit gifts because that allows me to make even more friends happy with a lovely gift.
Posted by: Rose | May 08, 2012 at 11:07 AM
I love accessories, and that is one reason I like quick projects, because most of them are quick to make. I like the faster gratification, and feeling of accomplishment, having things finished. Unlike a large wrap, for instance, that I am working on over a long period of time. Not only that, but they are wonderful wardrobe enhancements that everybody loves, especially when made by someone especially for them. Can't think of anything better than that!
Posted by: Wendy C. | May 08, 2012 at 11:41 AM
What a cute scarf! If it's as fast as everyone says, maybe I could actually finish it to wear in the season it is intended for!
Posted by: Jan Canales | May 08, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I like quick small projects to use for gifts or charity knitting.
Posted by: Knittingdancer on Ravelry | May 08, 2012 at 12:22 PM
I love the smiles and thank you's I get when giving a hand knit item to someone. I need a pattern that I can make up in no time for those last minute gifts. This Scarflette is exquisite and will make someone very much loved.
Posted by: Lee Parra | May 08, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Small projects give me a sense of accomplishment.
Posted by: Suzanne Shattuck | May 08, 2012 at 01:02 PM
Love this little project as I am a new knitter and looking for a little challenge. This is just the ticket! Love the color, too - seems to be the new neutral.
Posted by: Elaine Harper | May 08, 2012 at 01:06 PM
This is definitly the perfect quick project for gift giving.Sometimes the big project take days and you are really in the need for something that is elegant and something you would love to get yourself.I love the patterns on this site because you have both.
Posted by: Joyce | May 08, 2012 at 01:36 PM
I have such a big family and lots of friends that live all over the world. Small, quick gift projects help me keep them all happy whilst not breaking the bank on postage and not breaking me through lack of sleep!
Posted by: Susan | May 08, 2012 at 01:41 PM
I love quick projects. This little scarf is perfect for my 96 year old Mother. She is always feeling a draft on the back of her neck. This will take care of that in luxurious style.
Posted by: Eleanor Tonkin | May 08, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Gorgeous! Quick projects are just what I need - and we're coming into winter here in New Zealand, so this would be ideal!
Posted by: Andrea Little | May 08, 2012 at 03:31 PM
I have three daughters-in-law, and this would make a perfect gift for any of them!
Posted by: Carol Huisman | May 08, 2012 at 05:05 PM
I love projects like this because I always have something beautiful that I can put together on short notice.
Posted by: Renee Gunn | May 08, 2012 at 06:22 PM
Quick knits make quick pick me ups for friends or family. Since I have a rather large family, none of whom knits or crochets to any extent, I enjoy doing the occasional quick piece to have on hand as a surprise when a loved one needs some cheering up. It lets them know I'm thinking of them and love them dearly.
Posted by: Lorraine Patskanick | May 08, 2012 at 06:41 PM
Interesting stitch pattern with quirky cables, plus the pull-through design that keeps a short scarf neat, not too bulky and in place -- that and the fabulous unusual blue color make this a kit that would be a gift to knit with as well as one that would fit almost any woman. This is a standout giveaway; thanks!
Posted by: Paula Allen | May 08, 2012 at 07:30 PM
This scarfette is both very classy and beautiful. The color is most charming and actually I can see Katharine Hepburn in it! It would be great to be able to finish it quickly so that all of my charismatic friends can have one along with me.
Posted by: Debbie | May 08, 2012 at 08:59 PM
It's so rewarding to have a quality gift complete in a couple of days. Though with this one, I think I'd be tempted to keep the first one.
Posted by: Beth Rudo | May 08, 2012 at 10:23 PM
I love small projects like this when I travel, because they are easy to carry and work on in the car or on the plane!
Posted by: Rosalind Hanckel | May 08, 2012 at 10:35 PM
very nice short project with beautiful yarn and lovely color
Posted by: Lorraine T | May 08, 2012 at 11:42 PM
This is exactly the kind of gift I knit for family and friends as I am typically a last-minute gift kind of person. I love the lace and I love the pull-through design. There are three summer birthday gifts I am already planning...
Posted by: Renee | May 09, 2012 at 03:37 AM
This would make a perfect quick and easy gifts for Christmas. I can't believe I'm already thinking about Christmas gifts! Yikes!!
Posted by: Gina Coombs | May 09, 2012 at 08:09 AM
I ride the bus to work and a quick knitting project like this scarflette would be perfect to knit on the bus!
Posted by: Lindsey Butler | May 09, 2012 at 08:20 AM
I love quick knit projects as it gives you satisfaction that you have actually completed something! Whilst plodding on with other knitting projects that take more time.
Posted by: Lynn Delahunty | May 09, 2012 at 05:31 PM
This is a beautiful pattern, and the yarn looks yummy. I like quick knits to keep on hand as gifts, and feel good too about finishing a project!
Posted by: Anna Fuhrmann | May 09, 2012 at 08:58 PM
Nothing says "I love you" quite so much as a handmade gift and if it was quick to make too then that's a little gift to me :)
Posted by: Estelle Langslow | May 10, 2012 at 04:06 AM
So many times in life there's work and work and it seems like it never gets truly finished...and then there are scarves, wonderful pieces of art that get finished and enjoyed. I'm obsessed! This one is lovely and looks like it would feel so soft...
Posted by: Corrie Habib | May 12, 2012 at 12:06 PM
Your patterns are absolutely beautiful! I'm definitely a fan! Although if I won this (after the incessant dancing around), I don't know if it would be a gift or not? Maybe for me? Mmmmmm.....:-) Either way, it's really beautiful - love it!
Posted by: Terah | May 14, 2012 at 10:11 PM
This is really beautiful I love cables & lacey patterns mixed together to give a real feminine touch. Great to knit for family & friends.
Thank you for sharing
Posted by: Janice | May 15, 2012 at 03:54 AM
so satisfying to look at your finished project and say "I did that"
Posted by: Liesl Williamson | May 15, 2012 at 06:47 AM
Such a lovely scarflette! If I would win this kit, I would make it for my Mom. I just know that she would love the softness of the yarn on her neck!
Posted by: Nicky Herner | May 16, 2012 at 06:44 AM
Quick knits are great for last minute gifts!
Posted by: Marjorie | May 16, 2012 at 07:03 AM
This is a Beautiful scarf. Looks nice and soft to wear around your neck.
Posted by: Karie-Linn | May 16, 2012 at 08:38 AM
I would love to make this for my little sister's birthday gift in August.
Posted by: Julie | May 16, 2012 at 08:45 AM
I love small projects when I need a break from something complex. This is a very pretty design and the yarn looks gorgeous!
Posted by: Julie Witt | May 16, 2012 at 08:46 AM
I love knitting quick gift projects because I have lots of people I want to show my love for (Especially my mom and sister-in-law, who always seem to enjoy the hand knit gifts I give them so much they almost always cry) but with being a mom to a toddler, working on my teaching credentials, studying energy work and volunteering I have little time to knit these days so quick knits are a must in my life right now.
Posted by: Christina Cote | May 16, 2012 at 08:47 AM
I love the satisfaction that comes from a one-night knit gift that doesn't look like that's all it took -- but also I love that you can spend a night knitting a gift, or a night shopping for said gift, and the outcomes are so different in terms of personal touch!
Posted by: Debbie | May 16, 2012 at 08:47 AM
