Raquel’s Scarf
Here she is, the lovely Raquel modeling her new scarf!

Isn’t she great? It was fun knitting this for her. The last two scarves I have made for friends I put a lot of thought into - from the color, the yarn choice, and to most importantly, a design that truly reflects the wearer. Raquel already knew she wanted an orange scarf, and this label-less yarn (donated by another friend) reflects Raquel’s personality. It’s a yarn with sparkles and unexpected changes. The open-work of the stitch pattern is also very Raquel-like and the fringe too. I added the fringe at the last minute and I kept it long in case she wants to trim it to her liking. All right, scarf-desiring friends - who’s next?
