My sister loves the colour of Dragonfly, and since we are having a 'you get what I make' gift exchange, I think this is perfect. She wears hats and scarves, so it's win win. Yay!
I wasn't 100% sure about doing the Windowpane pattern. Not that I didn't like it, but I wanted something my sister knew I put some time in to. Although the pattern is simple, it comes out beautiful with the Unforgettable colourway. It really works on this scarf. It's not too short or too long. So in this case. I think it's ok that it's easy, because it looks elegant in its simplicity.
I used just over 2 skeins for the hat and scarf together. I could of used 2 exactly, but I wanted the scarf a bit longer. With 1-1/2 skeins it came out (the hat is about 1/2 a skein) to about 54" so I used another skein to kick it up to 60" long.
After wet blocking, it came out to 7" wide and 68", not too shabby. The recommendation is to kill it for blocking, but dang, that's scary. If I had more time to remake the scarf if needed, I would give it a shot, but alas, I didn't want to risk it. I did however tell my sister how to do it if she wanted to :)
