This scarf was for my sister. She had requested a long one, so this one, in it's finished state was 9ft long :D and will probably stretch over time too!
I used the basket weave stitch because I really like the chunky pattern it creates. I also used a darker purple to finish the ends of the scarf and make little pockets for a bit of added fun detail.
And yes, I'm wearing shorts and T-shirt whilst modeling a warm wooly scarf, it's all the rage now, didn't you know? :D I live in NZ and my sister is in the UK, so my summer is her winter.
