Double Border Scarf FO

We've returned from vacation and as promised here's the FO of the of the Double Border Scarf.



Double Bordered Scarf (pg. 104)
Yarn: Misti Alpaca
Color: Pink
Needle: size 7
Finished size blocked: 19” (point to point) by 67”

I had to get a little help (thanks Jennifer) to get this started because I had not knitted a pattern like this before. The pattern itself is actually pretty easy in regards to the stitches, however it does require a good bit of concentration to keep up with where you are at and what you should be doing at the time. I do love the results and think I would do this pattern again at some point. I'm doing another scarf at the moment, but it's not from this book. However, I do have several other patterns in the book earmarked for future projects. DBS goes in the stash for Christmas presents. I think the intended recipient will be thrilled.

Lovely! I'm using the exact same yarn for the cap shawl (see entery below) and it is heaven.

She's lovely in that soft pink. I'm sure the person you give her to will fall in love! :-)

Gorgeous! It looks ethereal in that light shade of pink. Congratulations!

Wow, you made great progress on that scarf. I am so glad that I could help you figure it out. My scarf is stalled out with a mistake in it that I can't seem to pin down. I was even thinking about frogging the whole thing. But now I have seen how lovely yours has turned out, I may need to revive mine.
