To Russia With Love

Welcome to our special Ravelry Games KAL featuring the delightful "To Russia With Love" patterns! We're excited to share this free offering that includes not just one, but **two unique knitting patterns**!

Choose between crafting the ultra-simple and fast garter stitch kerchief/shawlette, or dive into the charming Baktus-shaped scarf! Each pattern is designed to bring joy and creativity to your knitting experience.

Both patterns utilize the vibrant yarn from our **15-color kit**, which was available from The Roving Lampman. **Please note: the kits have SOLD OUT!** But don’t worry—there’s no need to fret! We’ve included detailed yarn amounts for each color in the pattern, so you can easily create your own custom "rainbow kit" using your favorite worsted weight yarn.

Both patterns are written for worsted weight yarn and require size 10 needles, making them the ideal choice for the Ravelry Games. These projects are fast, fun, and easy to knit! The kerchief/shawlette is perfect for those looking for a quick and satisfying project, while the Baktus scarf presents a slightly increased challenge with two variations of the flame stitch, making it a rewarding knit for those seeking a bit more flair.

Join us over in the **Criminal Knits group** [link text][2] for our exciting Games KAL, or feel free to knit along with your own team! Engage with fellow knitters, share your progress, and get inspired as you embark on these fun knitting adventures.

Materials Needed:
For the Shawlette:
- 1 **15-color worsted weight yarn kit** from The Roving Lampman, or use your selection of 15 vibrant colors of your choice.

We can't wait to see all the wonderful creations from both patterns. Happy knitting!
