Slytherin Neckwarmer


It's FO Friday again, and here is the finished neckwarmer I started a few days ago (see WIP Wednessday). As part of the test for my new Wizard Warmers pattern, I made this one in the extra-small size, to fit me even though it's a men's pattern. I also chose Slytherin colors, which I think look awesome here.

The yarn is Plymouth Encore DK #678 gray and I Love This Yarn sportweight #185 green.  I Love This Yarn knits up a smaller gauge swatch, but since it's striped with the Encore, which does knit to gauge, it works out to the right size.  I wouldn't use I Love This Yarn as the main color (bottom stripe), though, because it would throw off the dimensions pretty badly.

  1. I'm not a Harry Potter fan. (I know, gasp) The neck warmer does look very nice.
