Notes

Combined both Mini Herringbone Scarf & Big Herringbone Cowl patterns.

Using sport weight so I went down to size 9 needles.

~Cast on 37 stitches
~Following edging from scarf pattern
~Following herringbone stitch from cowl pattern

Scarf is 5in wide

12/24 ~ will not be done in time for Christmas.

This stitch is beautiful and easy but takes a long time. I love the ombré color transition and the texture is wonderful. However, the inconsistent thickness of the yarn might not be the best for this stitch. This will still be a perfect manly scarf.

3/3 ~ I didn’t think I would ever finish

     This pattern in beautiful but tedious 

     Preblocking length is 80 inches
