Project Notes: About the only thing I kept the same was the stitch pattern. The pattern calls for six colors and none of the colors really struck me and I wanted a scarf and hat set to cheer on my boys the 49ers (please win more than two games this season!) So I kept it to the four team colors. The hat was super quick and is just a repeat of two rows converted to be worked in the round. The scarf was a quick knit, but boy, weaving in all the ends was a killer! I searched the archives here and worked the duplicate stitch but still. I don't think I'd do this scarf again just because of all the weaving. And I can't stand weaving or sewing! Still, I now have a set for the games! Go 9ers!
