Detective’s Scarf knitting pattern (most manly ever) Designed by Urszula Szwabowicz

This is a scarf which I made for a friend and which I came up with totally spontaneously. It was an extremely quick knit – I literally finished it in just one day (a knitting frenzy you could say ☺). Though I never expected it would turn out so awesome, I can now honestly admit this is probably the prettiest thing I’ve ever knitted and I’m very proud of the work ☺ The pattern is the most basic diagonal rib but the choice of yarn weight and colour made it just outstanding in my eyes. What’s more, this is also the most manly scarf ever made because I was listening to “Hokuto No Ken” OST while knitting ☺ Hope you’ll enjoy the pattern as much as I do. Happy knitting!
