This was going to be the Bertie scarf that I started a couple of weeks ago. But while randomly toodling around Ravelry, I saw this scarf and changed my mind like the fickle knitter I am. Having stash yarn to knit it with helped, of course. Using stash is A Good Thing.

The pattern is well-written, with charts AND written instructions for the chart haters. I didn’t change much. As it is written, the first half is knitted then the cast on stitches are picked up and the second half knitted up, but I did a provisional cast on instead. And that was it!

The yarn is fairly basic, acrylic rich Sridar stuff. However, it softened after washing and I do think it is probably a bit more practical than the merino aran I used for the Fetching mittens, as it won’t do anything too weird if it ends up in the washing machine. I got a good length scarf; approximately 130cm long.

So I can tick another present off the list. It also meets with eldest small person’s approval, which is the most important thing of all, as it’s for his teacher.
