This Fall, I decided I needed a scarf/neckwarmer to go with my purple down jacket. I wanted something relatively small, and I decided to use some of my handspun. I decided to use this yarn, which I spun from a batt I made at Yarn School back in October 2012 and apparently never blogged about.
I turned it into this, which is loosely based on the
Red Rasta Cowl, which I found browsing Ravelry for neckwear designed for minimal quantities of super-bulky yarn. I wanted it to be snug and not mess up my hair, so I knitted it flat. I used all but about six inches of the yarn. It closes with three non-matching silver-colored buttons out of my button jar. The yarn is thick enough that I didn't need buttonholes - I just push the buttons through the knitted fabric wherever seems right.
Here it is under the jacket. It's very cosy and does a good job keeping the wind out of my neck!
