My youngest daughter is attending Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, and I am so proud of her. But she was born and raised in South Carolina - winter is going to be cruel for her. I decided to make her scarves in her school colors - maroon and orange. I had the hardest time finding yarn for the project, but ended up with Bernat Softee Chunky in Pumpkin and Wine. It was quite a bit more expensive than I wanted, but it was worth it.

Her roommate has been very generous and a great friend to her, so I decided to make a scarf for her, as well. My other daughter is visiting Pennsylvania this weekend, so I had to hurry up and finish the scarves for her to take along.

I decided to go with a V-stitch for the first one. I love the V-stitch. It looks so complicated, but is so easy to work.

The second scarf is a seed stitch pattern, worked the long way for easy stripes.

The great thing about both of these patterns is that they can be worked in any yarn, any gauge, and any stitch count. Take a look!
