Description
My first Transformers character scarf is complete! Well, mostly complete. The jury is still out on the fringe. It's not quite as obnoxious as the photo makes it look but I haven't decided if I'll change it to straight blue or go with an alternating scheme of some sort.

For those not familiar with Transformers characters, this scarf was designed from elements taken from the original 1980's cartoon character named Jazz who was modeled after this beauty.

The scarf itself is 401 rows and was knitted in Intarsia with 5 balls of yarn at once. It's made from acrylic yarn and the back is lined with felt to prevent (the inevitable) rolling. Both the lining and the applique 4s are hand sewn on with linen lace weight yarn.

Thanks to ~NadsatBabushka for the inspiration to start doing these. More to come! Also thanks to Gryphon Hatchling for being my model this morning. He wasn't too pleased at being hauled out of bed.

EDIT: I may still applique little Autobot symbols to the bottom corners of the scarf. Jury is still out on that one too.
