This is the Bristol Neckwarmer pattern, a very easy knit with one skein of Patons Astra in Dark Denim and my 4.2mm (US6) needles; I used maybe 120 yds (110m) of the 160 yd (147m) skein. One of my lovely stitch markers is decorating the pin (I didn’t make a buttonhole). The finished size is 21” long and 5” tall….
