I had six skeins of yarn left from Taylor’s blanket. The yarn is very thick so my choice of patterns was limited. It would have made a soft blanket but I didn’t think the yarn would be good to have around babies; it shed a lot while I was knitting and I’m not sure if it was just from where I cut it.

I used a simple K1, P1 pattern with just nine stitches so each one took only one evening to knit up. The scarves may not be as long as I would normally make but it is hard to join the yarn when it was so thick so one skein made one scarf.

These will be donated but when the winter weather arrives I may pull one out for myself; I think it will go nicely with my winter coat.
