Knitted Scarves for the Adventurous Knitter

By Kimberly Schimmel

Welcome to Book 2 of the FiberFrau Series of patterns. Once again FiberFrau presents scarf designs for hand knitting.

Two of the three scarves are inspired by the novel, Divergent, by Veronica Roth. A third was inspired by The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I rarely knit the same thing twice, but I hope you will take these designs, use them, enjoy them, and adapt them to your own tastes.

Some of the scarves in this book require more advanced skills than those in Book 1 (Knitted Scarves for Everyone.) The following basic knitting skills are assumed: knit, purl, cast on, cast off, and change colors at the beginning of a row. Each of these designs also includes something special: duplicate stitch embroidery, ribbing, and/or seed stitch.

Kimberly Schimmel, the author, graduated magna cum laude from North Carolina Central University with a Master of Library Science degree and serves as librarian at her church. She also earned a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University. The efficiency techniques she learned in engineering school get applied to her needlework projects.

She enjoys writing and reading, learning new craft techniques, designing knitwear and dresses, and making things for family and friends. As a long time resident of North Carolina, she enjoys the mountains, sweet tea, and Cheerwine. A native of Indiana, Kimberly also enjoys corn, auto racing, and basketball
