I have spent the past three years knitting birthday scarves and felted purses for each of the 72 staff members at my library. I have tried to use a different yarn, technique or stitch with each scarf. I have included patterns for the scarves on my blog. When this project is done I'll start to knit more ambitious projects.

Lou's Fuzzy Mohair Scarf
Larry is modeling Lou's fuzzy scarf. I used 2 skeins of Galaxy Yarn by Bernat. The color is "Milky Way".
I used size 10 1/2 needles.
Cast on 16 stitches. Work 4 rows in garter stitch.
Row 5: Knit wrapping yarn twice around needle in each stitch.
Row 6: Knit, dropping extra loops in each stitch.
Rows 7 and 8: Knit.
Repeat rows 5-8 until scarf is 74 inches long.
End with four rows of garter stitch.
Bind off.
The pattern that came with the yarn called for fringe. We had a big discussion at work on whether or not men like fringe on a scarf. The decision was "no fringe".
