I've finally finished a project! I made this crocodile scarf some time ago, but only attached the eyes and nostrils in the last few days. It was going to be a Christmas present for one of our godsons, but his birthday present didn't arrive in time so we've done a swap. He'll get his scarecrow puppet for Christmas now instead.
I'm really pleased with the way it's turned out. The pattern was in Let's Knit magazine a couple of months ago, although I modified it slightly to make it longer (I added about 32 rows of the straight section). The eyes were quite tricky but I think they look good in the end.
I need to redo the eyes on the blue scarf (they're too close together and too far forward... he just looks scary!) so I can't call that one finished yet. Crocodile no. 3 was cast on last Saturday.
I'm still working hard to finish the grown-up scarves, so I'll post about this next Wednesday...
Lovely scarf! It looks so realistic :)

Oh, my! This is a perfect scarf for a little boy! It's got just the right amount of Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails!
ReplyDeleteI just love the bumpy body of your alligator scarf!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've loved making this pattern - so easy and a good knit for when I was in the car or watching telly since I didn't need to watch every stitch.
ReplyDeleteI've edited the post to include a link to the Ravelry pages for it now.
