Christmas 2010 Gift Scarf #1



Being a new knitter, I got the wild idea to make scarves for folks for Christmas this year. Good thing I started early!

This is the brand and weight of yarn I picked for my Dad's scarf, a sophisticated heathered dark blue color:
Knit Picks Swish Worsted 100% Superwash Merino Wool, Color Delft Heather

The pattern I'm using is free on the Internet. It's so simple but makes such a lovely texture! I might have to make one of these for myself.
Mariner's Scarf Pattern by The Seamen's Church Institute.

Here is the finished scarf. It took me a while to work on it, I got backlogged with a bunch of quilting that I had to catch up on... but it's done! Just in time, too. Finished on December 1, 2010. I'm really quite proud of it, and I hope my Dad loves it too.
