The Man Scarf

My Little man modeling his Dad's scarf

This Christmas season I ended up knitting a whole load of scarfs. Sadly my memory was horrible and I forgot to take pictures of most of them before I gave them away as gifts.

But I did manage to take a picture of this one. I made it for my husband using this Meandering Rib Scarf pattern from Lion brand. I used about one ball of inexpensive black acrylic yarn. The original pattern is for a very long (130inch) scarf. But I made mine a lot shorter, about 30inch.
