anna knits - chunky scarf update 3

So I know winter is officially over, but I wanted to share my finished chunky scarf:

 

Here's how I did it:

I used 1 and 1/2 skeins of Rowan Big Wool in black with size US15 needles. I cast on 22 and started a Knit 2 Purl 2 ribbing pattern, which I continued until the scarf was about six feet long. I then added five bunches (made up of three strands each of Rowan Big Wool) of fringe to either side of the scarf. 

See my progress here and here, and see the matching braided headband here.

I won't be wearing this piece everyday for a while, but I am heading to Iceland at the end of the month, so it may get some wear there!
