graffiti costagna...
my love for scarves continue..., this one is called scarf costagna!knit project: mistake rib scarf
difficulty (1-5): 1.0
size: long (15 stitches, 2 full skeins)
yarn: colinette's graffiti in costagna
knitting specs: US 11
... is the name of this yarn, how cool is that?
francoise swapped these for some american goods with me a while back, i knew then they will become a cozy scarf for my neck. and of course, november is all about accessories at whispering pine.
the official description of this color is too perfect so i'm just going to recite them here:
"costagna, hot punch and the perfume of pine smoke. wrap up in the cosy comfort and warmth of these toasted chestnut colours."
this scarf is all about the yarn. so, i used mistake rib pattern to give it just enough ribbing and roughness as i want it to be bohemic. to complete the look, i added those long, long fringes.

Yarn that beautiful needs to be the star-- I love the simple rib. It is a great scarf, Blossom! Does it really get that cold in Alabama though? :) Hope you are well~

Great scarf! I love the way the mistake rib looks. I love big thick scarves like that - I hope you get to wear it lots this winter!

I'm glad someone else loves scarves the way I do. I made 8 scarves last winter and haven't had a chance yet so make a couple this year.
