Another Birthday!!!

Remember I said I couldn't wait to get back to knitting?

Well, my eldest sister's birthday was two days ago, and for her gift, I decided to make a sweet scarf. Knowing one of her favorite colors was purple, I went out and got a couple of balls of soft, purple yarn and started on her birthday project.

The scarf is really simple, with a simple knit pattern. The scarf is very long - long enough to wrap around the neck once and having both ends reach the waist (two balls of yarn were used).



The stitch pattern I used was the Double Seed Stitch:

Double Seed Stitch
Multiple of 4

Row 1 and 2: *K2, P2; rep from *
Row 3 and 4: *P2, K2; rep from *


For the finishing touch, I folded a scrapbook cardstock sheet and plain poster board (cut to the size of the scrapbook sheet) into a box, added purple tissue paper, and crocheted a flower for ornamenting. Pink ribbon was used to tie the scarf as well as sheer blue ribbon to wrap the box. A Happy Homemades by Jocy Xiong tag was also added.

I hope she liked it.
