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

she's like a rainbow

"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.
