Fair-Isle, Argyle Scarf
So I made this scarf for a family friend of ours that has been battling bone cancer for several years. It is fair-isle which means that there is more than one color being used. It is also knit in a round so that you cannot see the floaters of the fair-isle (yarn being pulled across where it is not being used) and it is twice as thick. The pattern is also argyle which I very much enjoy! The pattern was improvised from a color knitting book I have (cannot think of the name off the top of my head, sorry). The yarn was a cotton yarn; (*Keep the label!!!*) unfortunately I did not keep the label so I am unable to tell you what kind of yarn it is. Cotton is nice because, as I said in the yarn post, it washes nicely. The only thing I did not like about it was because it was a different texture, it would hurt my fingers if I was knitting for too long, but the finished product came out very well and I think you will like it!
