This scarf I knitted for my boyfriend. I started with a moss stitch, but he didn't like that. He wanted one that was like my first scarf, but wider. I told him a long thin one would be better, but he wanted a biggie. So I knitted him a huge scarf, using five balls of this yarn. After I was finished he wrapped it around his neck and dissapeared. He dissapeared under a pile of scarf. The scarf was too wide and too long for proper use. So I knitted it again. This time he didn't make any requests and let me knit. The result a scarf he can wrap or loop around his neck. Needles to say he's well pleased and so am I. The material knitted very nicely. Although I knitted it with the English method as I hadn't learned Continental yet. And it looks very good on him too. :D
