WWII 1940s RAF Knitted Scarf
by Yesha West
This scarf is a replica of an RAF WWII Air Ministry issued scarf. It is a relatively short tube with closed ends that was likely knit on a circular knitting machine. The end are overlocked by machine. Therefore the recreation will be a little different when hand knit. I do not own an overlocker/serger so I made a change to the ends to compensate for this. This is a very close recreation using more hand knit methods. My method is knit in the round on circular needles and the ends are closed with a blanket stitch.
