Bandwagon Scarf


Pattern: Noro Striped Scarf by Jared Flood
Needle size: 4.5mm
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden 2 balls each of 272 and 245



I started this in the spring and after spurts of work on it over the summer have finally finished it in time for the colder weather.


Apart from 1 shade of brown I love the two colourways of this yarn and the way that the colours have fallen together.


The yarn was lovely to knit and the 1x1 rib has given a nice dense fabric which will keep my neck toasty warm in the winter.

The finished project is a little scratchy but hopefully a wash will sort that out.
The only issue that I had was that the first two balls of yarn were of differing lengths. I don't know whether this was due to a small ball or a large ball as I had no way of telling without ripping back and weighing them. Life is definitely too short for that. It did leave me with a little fudge at the end as I was determined not to waste any!

I just have to wait for the cold weather now so that I show off my flash new scarf.
