This scarf
measures 7 feet 4 inches (88 inches) length by 9.5 inches width, and the double
layered double knit fabric mixed with the lusciously soft yarn makes it
something to snuggle up in which will keep you warm in the coldest weather.
Plus the colours mean that it is perfect for either men or women, the only
requirements are a liking for Warhammer. The double headed aquilla logo
celebrates the famous models without being too loud or obvious; a great way to subtly
show off your geekery.
Yarn used: Rowan DK Cashsoft, Black,
11 skeins
Rowan Pure Wool DK, Yellow, 0.5 skeins
Yarn
requirements: 1550 - 1650 yards MC, 65 - 100 yards CC
Needles: 3.5mm straight
Gauge: 12 stitches, 17 rows in 2 inches, measured on one side of the double
layered fabric only.
This is not a very difficult pattern, though it does take a
long time to do, so I would suggest that some knowledge of double knitting is
useful.

I like this scarf, and the design you have on it...even if it is warhammer :) Although Im not into warhammer, I like other geeky things.
ReplyDeleteNice of you to share the pattern with folks. Thanks for the follow up on the trainers and the jubilee. We call those type of socks, footies. It's fun periodically I come across a word on someone's blog that I'm not sure about, and then chat about it, and learn!
ReplyDeleteThat is such an impressive piece of colorwork! I can't stop looking at it!
