New Knitting Pattern: Shruggy Buggy

Ignore the name, please. It just seemed fitting at the time.

So, another versatile chunky circle scarf thing. This is what I was knitting during The Sound of Music. 


This is my sister modeling. She wanted me to put her face in it. Her code name is Reyna, because she's writing a story about someone named Reyna. Plus I don't want to put in her real name. Anyways... The variations of this scarf are

like a necklace...

wrapped around twice...

pull it up for a hood...

on your shoulders for a drapey cowl effect...



or as a shrug. The back looks weird, but if you really wanted it as a shrug, you could just sew the back edges together.

A super simple project, good for a beginner. You really don't need a pattern, but a guide is always good. At least it is for me. :)

Materials: 2 skeins of Loops and Threads Charisma (acrylic, 109 yds each, 218 yds total), US 15 straight needles, scissors, tape measure/ruler, tapestry needle

CO 28 sts. 
Knit all rows until it's about 50." BO. Seam the CO and BO edges together. 
After thaaaaaaaaat... wait. Nope. Never mind.
You're done.
