Gathered Scarf (Ravelry link)

US 7 and 4 needles

This is not quite as shiny as it looks in these pictures; it is more that the yarn has a soft halo and a nice amount of depth to it.

The scarf is 7 or so feet long, and I anticipate that a bit of wear will stretch it out a bit, meaning I will be able to wrap this around my neck multiple times — an indication that this will get a lot of wear. I love feeling cozy.

I couldn’t pick just one to share. Enjoy your Sunday!
