Hi,
Lion Brand Fun Fur was on sale at my local shop so I bought red, pink
and black and I have been knitting up scarves for some of the students
at both my school and my wife's school. Big hit with them and it
isn't very expensive.
For example, I use worsted weight Red Heart pink yarn and the Lion
Brand soft pink Fun Fur ($2.00 on sale!)
Cast on 14 stitches with both strands of Red Heart and Fun Fur on
Number 11 knitting needles
Row 1 Slip the first stitch knitwise and knit the next 13 stitches
Row 2 Slip the first stitch knitwise and knit that row as well.
Keep up the pattern for about 60 inches then BO and weave in the
ends! Oh, yeah almost forgot, a suggestion --spray a small amount of
nice perfume on the scarf before presenting it to your young person,
use hemp string to tie up the scarf as a roll and a nice tag...they
really loved that! I used ny wife's Prada (I don't think she minds,
but I guess I should ask next time! ;)

So if you want a mindless knitting project that will be a hit with
young folks, here it is!

The variation I like:
Row 1 Knit 2 tog, knit to last stitch, knit twice in the stitch
Row 2 knit to end of row
Creates a nice bias, and pointy ends.

Just out of curiosity, why do you use two yarns? I knit them just
with the fun fur, which seems to work fine.
Higs,

The effect is quite remarkable with the darker pink with the lighter
eyelash yarn (and a more substantial scarf). I did it originally just
with the fun fur, but this seemed to be a bigger hit with the students
with both yarns.
