The Dudester

My friend, Bob, just opened  his own Edward Jones investment office.  He always looks ultra professional and put together, so I wanted to knit him a guy scarf that would be formal enough to wear with his overcoat and suits but transition to weekend wear, too.  I made it extra wide so it can be worn flat or kinda scrunched up and tucked inside his coat as he said he will wear it.  The scarf is knit in a hurdle stitch with garter ribs which is reversible, easy to memorize and makes an interesting texture that doesn't curl.
