Exchequered

Pattern: Exchequered by Alice Bell
Made for: Caroline
Yarn: Filatura Di Crosa 501

I started it in the fall and vowed to finish it as part of finish-or-frog. I did finish on February 1, as promised, but it has taken until now to set up a suitable photo shoot with my sister. I guess we’re both really busy.

I’m really pleased with how it turned out. I didn’t use the chart in the pattern because I didn’t feel like printing it, and I like that the two halves don’t match.

It ended up being about 6.5 feet long, long enough for her to wrap around her face as many times as she wants.

  1. That’s awesome. I tried double knitting a month or two ago and didn’t enjoy it at all, so I give you a lot of credit for sticking with this project all the way to the end. The FO was worth the effort!

  2. Awesome awesome scarf!!!! I love the colors and the shapes. I will make this someday.

    Your sisters glasses are fun! I just started wearing glasses last year so I am obsessed with all the fun, funky cool ones!
