cushy!
I’d recently seen patterns for keyhole scarves that I thought were kind of interesting. Basically, you make a small hole in one side of the scarf to thread the other side through, tying it without having to have a knot. All the ones I saw were for novelty yarns, though, and I really wanted to knit something big and bulky and warm. A teeny little hole wasn’t going to admit a bulky yarn. So I decided to make a slit going lengthwise instead of a short hole widthwise, and did the whole scarf in seed stitch for a more interesting, bumpy texture. And, voila! It works very well, and seems to go nicely either in front or over the shoulder. The yarn is Plymouth Yukon, a blend of wool, mohair, and acrylic. Very cushiony feeling.
I’m pondering knitting a shorter version of this in pink, as it remind me of the breast cancer ribbons one sees about.
All in all, I’m pleased.
