A Darn Good Accessory
Want to see how to wear/style this accessory? There is a how-to video at the bottom....please scroll down!
So, you bought two 100g balls of DGY Brand Premium Recycled Silk? Well here's a really simple scarf. I'm a thin-scarf-a-holic because I love wearing them with everything and not just around my neck either. I love tossing my hair up in them too. 
Here's the recipe to make what I call The Darn Good Accessory
Whatchya need to succeed: 2 100g DGY Brand Premium Recycled Silk Yarn, 1 pair of US9/5.5mm knitting needles
How ya gonna do it: CO 11 stitches. Then knit one then purl one until the end of the row so you end on a knit stitch. Just keep repeating until you have a little less than 1 foot of yarn left. BO and weave in any ends. Yea, it's just simple moss stitch but it really shows off the colors so nicely. The moss stitch also holds onto itself really well .
How to flaunt it: See My Video Below 1) As a scarf. This type of scarf is meant to be wrapped a couple of times around your neck. Here's how to get the look as shown by moi. I take the end of my Darn Good Accessory and place it about in the top third of my torso and wrap around my neck like that then tie it off to the side (so it doesn't look like a tie). I never start by hanging the scarf in the middle behind my neck because I think you don't get to show off as much as the scarf and your ends can't be uneven and you don't get to make a cute tie in it.
2) As an awesome headband. Because this Darn Good Accessory is done in moss stitch it grips onto itself and doesn't shift making it the perfect candidate for a headband. So, here's how to do it. Put your hair up into a high ponytail and cover your part. It doesn't even need to be neat because it will be covered by the DGA. So, depending on if you want part of the DGA to hang down your back or not depends on if you start the headband in the back or front of your head. So, choose the base of your head or just at the front of your hair line at your forehead. From there, find the center of your DGA and wrap symmetrically around your head with both hands, switching ends with your hands when it crosses over keeping the scarf tight. The trick to making it flat is to pyramid the wraps as if you were putting grip on a tennis racquet or tape on a road bike handle. The cool part about this DGA is that you don't need to knot it for it to stay in place you simply need to tie it. You can take your hair out at that point of leave it up...whatev:-). Be prepared to get some compliments!! Pair with some mellow colors to wear so you highlight the scarf.
