Lotte's new scarf

Every year my Mum and I go to the knitting and stitching fair at Alexandra Palace. This year's was last weekend. At every show I buy myself some wool and some needles and knit myself a 'show scarf'. This year instead of knitting a scarf for myself I knit one for my little girl (She's 20 months old). I used the remnants to knit a matching scarf for her favourite teddy.

The finished articles look like this:

They were knitted using two balls of Sirdar Funky Fur Magic wool on five millimeter needles.

For the child's scarf cast on 30 stitches and knit in garter stitch until it's the length required. In this case I knitted 15 stripes with a couple of additional rows on either end.

For Lotte's scarf I cast on 10 stitches and also knit in garter stitch. Basically I just kept on going until it was long enough to tie around her neck.

The only took a couple of evenings to knit and I found the wool easy to knit with. I'm not sure that I'd like to work a more complicated pattern with it though as it was hard to count how many stitches you had on the needles due to the fur sticking out everywhere.
