I started this scarf in August or September, on one of those days when the weather was just cool enough that I was starting to think about fall being on its way. I finished knitting it very quickly, but of course it sat around for a long time with its ends unwoven.

The yarn is some Sirdar Tropicana I got on clearance many months ago (I see now that it's discontinued). I've set myself a goal to knit from my stash for a while, and this was attempt #1. I'm not usually a big fan of acrylic yarns, but I have to say I was really happy with this yarn.

The stitch pattern is the tunnel lace pattern from the Harmony Guides 450 Knitting Stitches (vol. 2). I like how it creates a lofty ribbing.

I knitted a short scarf, then divided the stitches in half and knitted each side separately, then grafted the ends of the two sides together to form a hole.

I was going to write up the pattern, but that's about all there is to it. It's always so nice to start off the winter with a new scarf.

Very nice scarf. I love how you did the "tunnel" part - what a clever idea!
