This scarf is solid blue and I used acrylic yarn. I made it for a close friend who recently completed an adventure around the U.S., hitting all of the four corners of the country and her 49th state. By four corners I mean the farthest places north, south, east, and west on the mainland. I am not exactly sure what those were for her as I found several definitions of what it could be on the Internet. But at any rate, she's happy and reached her goal, and that is all that matters.
I wanted to put buttons on the scarf that were shaped like the USA, but after looking at literally thousands of buttons on Etsy and other sites, I could not find what I wanted. I gave up and went with simple, putting red and white buttons on the end to symbolize the four corners.

The bind-off end. I redid it several times but could not make it look as nice as the cast-on end. |
I wasn't pleased with this but it was the way it ended up. |
I have turned to crochet for the moment, and we'll see what comes of that.
It is a lovely and thoughtful gift. Any gift from the heart should be appreciated and cherished. I can crochet if you get stuck and need help. :-)
ReplyDeleteDid you block it (give it a light bath)? That often evens out wonky edges, etc.
