Cunning Scarf

I made this scarf for my husband to match his Cunning Hat.  He didn't ask for it, but I felt that it was important that he had a scarf.  Then, I figured his scarf ought to match his hat, so I used the same colours as in the hat (since I had yarn still left over) and went for a texture that also matched the hat (the edges look kinda like lasagna).  There's really not a lot to say about it.


Project Details
  • Needles = Size US 10.5
  • Yarn = Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Terracotta (134), Mustard (158) and Rust (135)
  • K on 18 stitches in Rust (leave tail from starting stitch hanging); K second row also; K2 stitches, StSt 14 stitches, K2 last stitches (repeat for 16 rows)

  • Switch to Rust; K2 stitches, StSt 14 stitches, K2 last stitches (repeat for 16 rows); K 17th row, K off last row, cut, knot, leave fringe hanging 
  • Make 2 pieces of fringe (in Rust) to place on each end of the scarf, matching the fringe on the hat's earflaps
  • NOTE: As with the eaflaps, the scarf curls up on itself quite a bit.  I used an iron, a damp washcloth, and bursts of steam to flatten it out.  I held it flat to the ironing board during the steaming process using straight pins.
