I have a dear friend and we like to exchange little handmade gifts each year. The freezing cold weather made me think scarf. I found some Bernat Roving on sale and I just loved the warmth of it.
Here is an easy little pattern I came up with that just looks so nice with the chunky yarn.
Hook - N/10mm
Yarn - Bernat Roving in Putty (this is a #5 Bulky yarn, 80% acrylic/20% wool, hand wash, dry flat) I used two entire skeins to make this scarf.
Chain 16
Row 1 - sc across (15)
Row 2 - dc in 1st stitch *sk 1 st, (sc, dc) in next st* Repeat until last two st. Sk, sc. Ch 1. Turn.
Repeat row 2 until you are out of yarn.
Finish off
Join ends to create a circle.
Wear loose:
Wear wrapped twice:
(*I asked my seven year old to take pictures of me wearing the scarf. Only take a picture of the scarf I said. Just the scarf. Not me. So she took pictures of me making crazy faces. Sigh. I have cropped crazy-faced me out for your viewing safety.)
I liked this so much I bought more Bernat Roving yarn in blue (at a post-Christmas sale, natch) to make one for myself!
You are such a dear friend...I love my scarf. Each time I put it on it's like a nice warm hug from you. I will cherish it forever. I know its a bit cliche, but you know it's true since I'm a closet hoarder and all... ;-)
