Scrunchable Scarf for DH

#1

hey guys–I finally finished this scrunchable scarf! (it took 3 weeks! but I didn’t work on it daily)

I knitted it in Lion’s Brand Kool Wool (which is now discontinued) in Charcoal. I’m fairly happy with it–I think I would make it longer if I made it again…but I like lllooonnngggg scarves.

I used size 10 needles and it ended up being 7.5 inches wide and just a smidge under 60 inches long.

It’s for dh for Valentine’s Day…he doesn’t know it’s for him. Last weekend I asked him what he’d like if I ever decided to knit for him…he said “probably a sweater b/c I’d never wear a scarf or hat.” :frowning: Hopefully he’ll like it anyway.

I don’t think the pics do the scarf justice…I was very pleased with how even the stitches turned out.

Oooh! That looks VERY nice! The stitches look so good!! I hope he likes it…I’m sure just that it is coming from you will make it special.

Arn’t scrunchable scarfs fun to make?? :thumbsup:

I love the color!!!

#4

yes, it was fun! I loved the color and bought the only 6 balls that were left. As I was getting close to the end I started worrying that I wouldn’t have enough. When I finished binding off I had about 1.5 inches of yarn left hanging off the end…boy was that close! My scarf is actually a little longer than the pattern called for I believe–I think it said 55 inches long but I was aiming for 60 and almost made it. :slight_smile:

Great job, Cristy! The stitches look so nice and even!

#11

He’ll LOVE it! Its manly and the pattern makes it extra squishy and soft! Good job!

#12

do you guys think it needs fringe? I don’t have any more of the yarn…I wonder if I could find some.

#13

It looks great!! If he’s not already a scarf person, it will make him into one. I think I’d let him decide on the fringe. I think it’s one of those things you either love or hate.

Its gorgeous!

I just bought some Kool Wool from Smiley’s to stash away to do Simply Marilyn in…

#15

I’d let him decide on the fringe…

#16

thanks for the input…I somehow doubt he’s going to want fringe anyway. :slight_smile:
