This handsome muffler with matching watch-cap is a great gift idea for the guy who is impossible to knit for. The simple K2, P2 ribbing is pressed flat which gives the fabric a soft, elegant hand.
Note: If you substitute another yarn for the Ultra Alpaca, swatch and press it to make sure your yarn responds well to hard pressing. Do not use a yarn with synthetic content. You can also view all Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
I knit English style, so this scarf took forever to do. But the colorwork was so much fun that I didn't mind. Great project to work on while you're chatting with friends (like, at knitting group ;->). Will be making more of these for gifts.
This is an easy pattern -- the only part that was a little tedious was casting on 648 stitches. Just make sure to use the markers ever 50 stitches as recommended. A scarf that is a little different!
