barnacle scarf: part 2

barnacle scarf | colorway 2

(if you're just tuning in for the first time, check out the original I
made a few days ago!)

Again, excuse the mac book photo booth color quality...

materials | Lion's Brand wool-ease in burgundy and brown/green twist

Uneven stripes of novelty "faux fur" yarn in brown, knit in the round same as the original.



Again, construction begins with a 1x1 rib, then stitches are rearranged into
a 2x2. Then, the increases (and later, decreases) are all carried out in the purl
sections of the work. Knit on circular needles, so, this is a seamless piece.



I think this color-combo is especially fun, since it looks like you have a pretty
substantial beard going on when you wear it up like this... tehe

"Barnacle Scarf"
--just finished this quick one last night

materials | Lion's Brand wool ease (emerald green/black-brown)
and 100% wool in black. Novelty black "fake fur" yarn added in uneven stripes.
Black sequins and plastic seed beads hand-beaded.

Mac photo booth documentation, so color quality is a bit off,
but here's the shape of it.


I began with a 1x1 rib, then moved stitches into a 2x2, then began my increases
(and later decreases) within the purl section of the rib.




Beaded to help better fade the color change.
