This yummy yarn and pattern was my yarn indulgence over the holidays. My mom bought me the beautiful scarf pin. The yarn, pattern & pin were all bought at Yarn Birds in Raleigh, NC.
The yarn is Punta Yarns Meritwist Hand Paint in Colorway HP 60. It is bulky weight and I used a US 11 / 8 mm size needles. I love this color because it looks so good with brown. Chocolate brown is a core color in my wardrobe.
The pattern has a seed stitch border with the large cable down the middle. I especially like the way the edges look finished by slipping stitches. In fact, I've started finishing most of my scarves and even dishcloths by knitting the first stitch through the back loop and when you have one stitch left, pull the yarn to the front and slip it as if to purl.
