Space Invaders Scarf

I made this scarf for a friend of mine for her birthday. The finished product ended up being about 7 feet long. When I first made the pattern it didn't have the flying saucer across the back of the neck, but I think it was a good addition.

Nicely done! Looks great.

What kind of yarn did you use? Looks super fuzzy - it must have been a pain to work with.

Thank you all so much! :) I wish it glowed in the dark, but sadly it doesn't. :( To answer Julie's question, I used Sensations brand Angel Hair yarn, and she is right, it is both super fuzzy, and a pain to work with. Especially when I would make mistakes. Trying to take stitches out to fix said mistakes was a frustrating task.

This is ace! Not that I need more on my list of 'to do' projects but do you have a pattern for this? :D

I have good news and bad news.

the Good news is, yes, I do still have the pattern. :)

The bad news is, I made the pattern myself and I have no idea how to properly write or draw up a knitting pattern. So I did it in a way that made sense to me. It may not make sense to anyone else though. I am more than happy to send you what I have, but like I said it may not do you much good. :(
