Yes you read that right, there is a Finished Object in the house! Haven’t seen one of those here for a while eh? I finished the Midwest Moonlight scarf last sunday, and here it is!

And here’s my (hopeless) attempt at posing like the model in the book. Ha ha!

Pattern: Midwest Moonlight scarf from Scarf Style, designed by Ivy Bigelow.
Yarn: Filatura Di Crosa “Zara” in Light Baby Blue (colour no. 1462), 125m/50g, exactly 3 balls (basically I just kept doing the repeats until I almost run out of yarn).
Needles: Grey aluminium 4mm / US 6.
Final measurement: 146cm (57.5 inches) long, 15cm (6 inches) wide, unblocked. Perhaps it could be longer and wider if I block it, but I don’t think I will block it as I already like the way it looks as it is.
Modifications: I made the scarf narrower than in the book, so I casted on 33 sts instead of the 49 sts instructed in the book, and did only 2 pattern repeats each row instead of 3 repeats.
I think this is my favourite scarf so far! I love how it looks unusual, with the slants and the eyelets and all. And yet it’s so simple to make! Love it.

the scarf looks great, I bet it’s soft in the Zara
Hey there, thats a lovely scarf! I only learned to knit last June and am just about to finish my first substantial item. Its a very exciting moment for me 🙂
I too live in Sydney, where do you shop for your yarn?
Looks soft and lovely! I like the pale blue color, it’s such an appropriate one for the pattern name.
Wow, this scarf turned out so beautiful, I’m very impressed by your work! And hey, you’re doing just fine as a model!

Unusual pattern – very nice result. You did a great job. The photos are great too. :o)
What a lovely scarf, I bet the Zara is the perfect yarn for it. I love your ‘modelling’ pose! Some of the photos in the Scarf Style book just crack me up!
