[Nfb-krafters-korner] Project for the weekend- Magic scarf

[Barb Roland]

LM, that is correct that it is just a long tube, with both ends open. By 
using the Lion Brand fun fur, which has more stretch than other brands of 
fun fur apparently, it will stretch enough so that you can bring the bottom 
opening down around your shoulders and let the top opening just rest/drape 
around your neck and shoulders, pulling the top opening forward some to 
create the cowl. Or you could pull the top opening back and up over your 
head to make a hooded cowl.

Using one strand of the fun fur seems to be a bit thin so I would hesitate 
to wear it as a top or dress so when I can get ahold of some more fun fur 
I'm going to try another one with two strands. On the number of skeins, it 
calls for 2 or 3 and it sounds like most are using most of the 3rd skein in 
order to get it the lenght it needs to be. I'll look for the pattern later 
and let you know how long it's suppose to be.
