Ball-and Chain

I saw this chain scarf on Ravelry, but Alison Gates has made this pattern available on the Knitty blog here. There are many variations of this scarf. I thought the ball-and-chain version was especially funny. My husband doesn’t think marriage is a ball-and-chain, but I made the scarf that way anyway. I plan to use it as a Halloween decoration. Maybe I’ll wear it during the winter as well, though I’m not sure how warm it will be!

This was a fun scarf to make. I used size 8 straight needles rather than double pointed needles since I’m faster at straight knitting.

The ball is crocheted since I can increase and decrease better when crocheting!

This makes for a fun decoration though it seems a little long for the lamp.
