Seaman's Scarf

Knitter: Peggy
Pattern: The Barbara Seaman Scarf from Stahman's Shawls & Scarves by Myrna Stahman.
Stash Reduction Yarn: a lovely vintage Berger du Nord yarn of 70% wood and 30% camel ~ 2 skeins of dk weight of 135 yards each plus about 30 yards from a 3rd skein.

Knit between January 15th and February 18th for a dear friend, I was just not willing to knit the pattern as written. I started both halves at the bottom edge, knit up 6 pattern repeats, knit the neck ribbing on both halves for 6 inches and then grafted the two halves together at the center back with the Kitchener Stitch. The seam looks ok but not as well as I had hoped.

I have enough of this soft and yummy yarn to make another Seaman's Scarf and next time I'll follow the directions.
