FO: Crime Scene Scarf
Feb. 4th, 2008 06:15 pmA non-knitting friend asked me to make a scarf that looks like crime scene tape as a Christmas present for her sister.
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Black and Lemonade. I am not fond of this yarn, but it's surprisingly hard to find bright yellow in my usual choices.
Needles: Addi Turbo #7 (4.5mm)
Gauge: 5 sts/inch
Pattern: http://robotclothes.com/projects_policetape.html, the more finished version, with alterations
( How I altered it, with photos )
And here's a closeup of the finished scarf. Being acrylic, there wasn't much point in blocking it, so I didn't bother. Overall, I'm pleased with the way it turned out, and I'm shocked that the colorwork and the scarf itself lay as flat as they do.
