My friend Stephanie is a wonderful woman. She is funny, brilliant, generous with her time, and can make you both laugh and cry while telling you the same story. Her birthday is just a few days before Christmas, and every year there is at least one person who gives her a single present that is supposed to cover both birthday and Christmas gifts. That just makes me twitchy.

So one year for her birthday I designed and knitted her a scarf pattern… and that’s why December is for Stephanie.

Gauge is flexible in this scarf; using larger needles and bigger yarn will get you a longer/wider scarf, and using smaller needles and thinner yarn will get you a thinner/shorter scarf.

Pattern has recently been updated to reflect written instructions in addition to the original chart.
