Notes

I was looking for a way to use up various left-over sockyarns (and some handspun) in a single project, and had long thought of knitting a scarf/shawl hybrid with crazy stripes. I the wrong side of striped knitting sometimes irks me, so I decided to knit a tube on circular needles to essentially double the warmth and squish-factor of the sockyarn (oh, how I love merino’s squishiness!!) and avoiding there ever being a “wrong” side to the stripes.
I used a folded knitted hem to avoid any rolling or the edges at both ends.

Quick recipe for the Tubular Sockyarn Eater is here.

You can also find the pattern on my blog.

Thanks for looking!!
