This is the first thing I knit. I had just learned to purl, and so I made full use of my new skill, by creating this scarf in a knit 2 rows, purl 2 rows pattern. It makes a nice horizontal ribbing, and is a bit more interesting than basic garter stitch (knit every row). Also, it doesn't roll up like stocking stitch (knit one row, purl one row), and it creates a bulky fabric that's nice and warm. I used a cheap multicoloured yarn from Walmart, of which there was more than enough to make the scarf.
To finish the piece, I tied on black tassles. Very manly.
p.s. The image got a bit damaged by the computer, but I'll get a replacement up soon.
