Harris Tweed Scarf

Harris Tweed Scarf - for my grandfather, Christmas 2006. It's my own pattern, if you can call it that. (It's really just a stitch pattern from a vintage knitting stitch dictionary.)

I used Caron Simply Soft, two strands held together, and #10 1/2 needles.

A note about the yarn requirements: I basically used 1/2 to maybe 2/3 of each of 2 (3oz) skeins of Simply Soft. That was for a 4-foot scarf. You could easily make the scarf a foot longer - maybe even 2 feet longer - without having to buy more yarn than that. The 3oz solid skeins are 165 yards.

CO 26.
