circular ribbed scarf

How cute is my model? Well, he is of unbearable cuteness, if you ask me.

I can't explain why I keep knitting those scarfs. We still live on the Canary Islands, and this winter, for example, presented no reasons to muffle up.

One possible reason is that I still have some Schoppel Wolle Lace Ball yarn. I still have some left, btw, so there might be more scarfs coming up, who knows.

In process.

As before, the tendency of stockinette stitch to curl in and the reverse stockinette stitch to curl out was used to create ribs of different colors. The scarf was knitted in stripes of stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette stitch from two different balls of yarn. One has a gradient from cream to very dark brown, another bright teal to grey. Each side of the scarf has its own main gradient but I can twist it so that they both show.

Like this.

Height of each stripe is 7 rows. Two 100 g balls were almost completely used and I ended up with 27 stripes altogether. The circumference of the scarf is about two meters. It can go quite a few times around my neck.

Our teddy is wearing it wound three times around his.
