"Something Dignified" Scarf

I have a hard time getting a friend of ours to wear anything except old t-shirts, jeans, hooded sweatshirts and a nasty, old beat-up ball cap.   In my quest to provide him with something warm for the winter, I came up with “something dignified” should he choose to dress it up a little bit but would be more likely to be used because it matches the beat-up ball cap. 

I have yet to see him without it this winter.  

Materials:

Two skeins of Caron Simply Soft Black, One skein of Caron Simply Soft Burgundy.Feel free to use your own yarns and adjust the stitch count and hook size to your liking.

Hook: 5.0

Notions:  You can wear white after Labor Day and you may need a yarn needle for this project.
