He is really into Lego Rock Raiders so I wanted to make something that kinda references it, but is still subtle enough to wear to work :D

This was my first time steam blocking Acrylic Yarn, it makes such a difference!!! The finished scarf got super soft and flowy, none of that creaky stiff crochet feeling left haha

thank you! I'm not sure what the technique is called, I picked it up from this youtube tutorial :)

The basic idea is that you always have two yarn colors that you can switch between whenever you like, - the one you don't want gets hidden on the inside of the other one.

Oh interesting, it's basically tapestry crochet but with half-doubles instead of singles. No wonder the blocking opened up the stitches so much! Thank you for sharing!
