I originally made this scarf for Dan the year we were engaged.  I’d already made him 3 sweaters and a vest, so the boyfriend curse was long gone.  (Not that I’m really superstitious.  Most of the time when I knit for men, they loose 20 lbs before the sweater is done, and it doesn’t fit them any more.  That’s kind of hard to call a curse though.)

It was my bus knitting, but I was using such a fine handspun, that I had to bribe myself to keep it going with science fiction paperbacks from the library.  When the original scarf  disappeared, Dan was bummed, not because I was mad at him (I was.) but because it kept him warm when the wind tried to blow through his front zipper.  That Northern Illinois wind.

This pattern may be purchased for $5.00 from Ravelry

The pattern was technically edited by Katherine Vaughn, and her value is incalculable.

  2. I love the Herringbone pattern and it looks great with the scarf you knit. I would like to purchase a grey one. How much would it cost for a medium size scarf?
    Please do let me know.

    Cheers,

    • Thank you for your kind words Alex, I only sell pfd patterns for you to create the scarf, not finished objects. do you know a knitter who would make it for you if you bought the yarn and pattern? It will probably take him/her 3 weeks to make up, which would make it hard for you to pay him/her very much for their labor.
