Grab those knitting needles! Don’t pass by making the “scarbon” this winter. The Scarbon has become the most popular project of the season. It has grabbed the attention on many around the world. Thick Yarn always makes for fun hats. In this case it is a two part process. First the hood, then the scarf, and sew them together.
Materials: Lion Brand Yarn: 3 skeins of Hometown USA – Super Bulky: Chicago charcoal, Size 9 mm knitting needles, cable needle, and darning needle.
