Penelope Cobblestone Scarf by Jennifer Moretti
Inspired by the 2006 movie Penelope starring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy. My niece requested a scarf like Penelope's to make her Halloween costume complete last year and a really cute, cozy scarf was born. This is my first pattern write up, it is not test knitted, gentle input is greatly appreciated. · Size: Approx 8 inches wide and just over 60 inches long - the scarf in the movie has been noted at 80 inches long.
