NOTES

• I tried knitting these scarves the exact same way that I had knit the scarf I had made for myself. I cast on 33 stitches with my size 10′s, worked a few inches in the pattern, and realized that I really didn’t like the way it was looking. The texture seemed off and the fabric wasn’t as soft and smushy as my scarf had been. So I frogged it, cast on 30 stitches with my size 11′s and fell in love with the way it was knitting this time. It was amazing what a 1 size increase in needles did for these scarves! Now they are both soft and snuggly!
• And P.S. everyone, the bordeaux color is gorgeous!!!
