I finally finished my red scarf!

When Mike and I went to Ottawa in October I saw all of these red accessories in a department store window and got really excited about making some of my own. I decided on a nice winter scarf because it would be perfect to experiment with some pattern work. It's taken me a while because I've taken some breaks to knit other smaller projects, but now it's finally done! I knit this scarf with Frog Tree merino wool yarn that is so soft and beautiful and not itchy at all. I used an eyelet mock-cable ribbing pattern with size 9 needles.

Here's the pattern I used:

(In multiples of 5+2)

1st row (right side): P2, *sl 1, k2, psso, p2; repeat from * to end

2nd row: K2, *p1, yrn, p1, k2; repeat from * to end

3rd row: P2, *k3, p2; repeat from * to end

4th row: K2, *p3, k2; repeat from * to end

Repeat these 4 rows.

I also added a border of K2 on both sides so it wouldn't roll as much, blocked it, and added fringe.
