James’s Scarf (an original Naked Knitgirl-design)

James’s Scarf
Originally uploaded by Maria in Toronto.

A few days ago James commented that he needed to buy a new scarf, I stopped him right there and told him that I would make one for him. He wanted it orange, so I stopped at Lettuce Knit to get 2 balls of yarn.
This is the final result, and I think it turned out pretty good. James went to Lettuce Knit with me yesterday and everyone was complimenting him on his scarf. It’s good to be complimented by a bunch of knitters!

Instructions

Finished length: 57 inches

2 balls Araucania chunky 100% wool in contrasting colours. I chose orange (A) and brown (B). (these are beautiful kettled-dyed colours, I really recommend this wool).
