Software Engineer

Piquant
I have many issues with scarves, flying away in the wind, staticy hair, and fogging my glasses. I designed the Software Engineer to make things simpler for myself and resolve my winter scarf issues.
I wanted to make something fun and challenging to knit. It is small/simple garment, but it is made interesting with brioche and double knit. It could be made reversible if buttons are attached to the front and back of the button band. This is my first pattern and I am really happy with the support I received in making it from Knitty, Tech support from Kate Atherley, test knitter Alison Cooley, and moral support from MaryAnne Mctrowe and Amanda Bigford my BFFs and cheerleaders!
