If you’re like me (and my crafting friends), we’ve made about all the super easy ruffle scarves we can handle. All our friends have one and the local big box store can’t keep the yarn in stock. So this past week, my 2 crafting friends and I have been branching out. We’ve been looking for some more easy scarf options.
More Super Easy Scarf Options
Making the ruffle scarf using Sashay Yarn
with a crochet hook is a snap. It takes me about 1 hour to make a crochet ruffle scarf. You can see my tips and super easy ruffle scarf ideas here. My friend Kayelynn decided to try to make the same scarf with knitting needles. We were all amazed that the knitting needles turned out a complete different look. It’s the same yarn, but a new scarf!
Knitting the Ruffle Yarn creates a different look.
Here’s a youtube clip showing you how to knit the ruffle scarf.
Twist and Twirl Yarn
There is another type of ruffle yarn called Bernat Twist ‘n Twirl Yarn
. It has much smaller netting and creates a much smaller ruffle. It works well with the same basic pattern. Kayelynn used a crochet hook for this yarn. Instead of actually counting and skipping one hole each time, she just kind of ‘guestimated’ about the same distance for each loop. It is much too small to actually figure out how many loops you are skipping.
Crocheting a Scarf with Twist and Twirl Yarn
Pomp-a-doodle Yarn
Another really easy way to create a scarf is to use Pomp-A-Doodle Yarn
. This yarn is basically just a long skein of pom poms. There are spaces between each of the little balls. Kayelynn just used a single crochet chain and created this very simple scarf. She told me that it took her about 10 minutes from start to finish! Talk about easy!
Even Casper loves the pompadoodle yarn!

Love! One day I can’t wait to have enough time {and brain function} to have awesome hobbies again.
I like how you call it “easy” when I would botch something like that up in the first 5 minutes and the rest of the time after LOL – I know it should be easy but I dont know if I have enough patience…Your cat is gorgeous and I like the one he is modeling. Perhaps I should give this a try and learn a new skill and learn to slow down and take my time while doing something. (I am jealous a lot of your many talents)
really cute.
I think I want to knit one instead of crochet now. I did not realize same yarn different look. That is pretty neat!
Oh I love the Pomp-A-Doodle, I made the last one you gave instructions for and love it. I might be doing this one too! Thanks!
These are so cute! I could totally see me doing something like this with my daughter.
LOL – love the kitty! SO talented
Very cute,love the ruffle yarn and the colors are so pretty…cool!
I know someone who knits the scarves, too. I think it has a much fuller look!
I think I have one of those pompadoodle ones, but I didn’t make it, lol
I am loving that 2nd one. I have not seen a scarf like that before and would love one!

It is pretty isn’t it? I love the way different yarn turns out completely different looks!
I really like the Pomp-a-doodle yarn, it’s something I’ve never seen before!
I might be able to do this, I keep trying for knitting and crochet and never seem to get it.
