Feather and Fan Seaman's Scarf

My one and only piece of holiday-related knitting is finished. I started a scarf for my aunt back in March when I needed an airplane-friendly project, and realized last week that I should probably finish it. My mother packed it up for mailing before I had a chance to take pictures which means this post isn't interesting, but I'm pasting the pattern in for my own reference.

It's a seaman's scarf, which means that that there are short tails that you cross over your chest and a ribbed middle part that's nice and dense to keep the wind (and sea spray, presumably) off the back of your neck. It's a little dressier than the average scarf, in my opinion.
