I have no idea of what you are talking about. Is this yarn the ladder looking kind sold wrapped around a cardboard cuff? I would bet it would be easy to make by just knitting every row on large needles???

When I've knitted with this yearn, I have used large needles (11US and up). I cast on 20 or so stitches and just knit the garter stitch for the entirety of the scarf. I think it would also work up nicely if you put in some long (double wrapped) stitches.

Sheilajoyce, that is the yarn I am speaking of, whether it is easy to make is another thing. Somehow the scarf when you look at it does not seem to be a knit stitch. I see that tommeca has a suggestion to try (double wrapped stitches). This might be a project to get a ball and play around with on large needles. Someone suggested it might be knitted lengthwise vise widthwise...thank you for the suggestion of needle size tommeca. I see a few hours of research in my future. Thank you for your response.

I've made a scarf out of ribbon yarn by using large needles (just swatch with sizes 11 thru 15 to see what looks best) and garter stitch. It's open and net-like but I don't understand how the scarf is "doubled" unless it was knit in the round in a tube like a sock. You can also get the same effect as double wrapped stitches by using "condo needles". If you have a set of interchangeable needles like the Boye or Denise, just attach 2 different sizes on each end, the size specified for the yarn and another much larger size, eg. 7 and 15. Just a warning about ribbon yarn - it may twist and can be frustrating.

I have used this ladder "yarn" with eyelash for a pretty effect on a scarf. I used 15 or larger needles and straight black eyelash yarn. The ladder yarn had black in it and silvery grey and maybe a green, I think. But what I was going for was the little squares of bright shiney turquoise. It was ssssooooooo pretty-- as the black eyelashed would flutter in the breeze, the turquoise squares would glisten from beneath here and there. Really gorgeous.
