Aviator Scarf - Finished

So, a previous post had me starting an aviator style scarf for a friend of mine. I'm happy to say, it didn't take terribly long and it's all finished now. Including that horrid tassel fringe.

I hate tassels. But, for Rachael, I did them!

I hope the scarf looks good with her super sexy leather jacket.

Here are all finished pics:

Over all, I had a great time with this pattern. I did make some changes though. 
This was the original pattern:

Ch 90 turn
r1: Sc ea st across, ch1 turn
r2: hdc ea st across, ch1 turn
r3: sc in back loops only across, ch1 turn
Repeat r2&3 until scarf is about 5in wide, finish off & weave in
Add tassels to each end of the scarf
I found that a chain of 90sts was a little short, so I upped that to 151sts. I followed the pattern till my piece was just shy of 5in wide, then did one more row of plain old single crochet. (What can I say, I like symmetry!)

Then I made & attached the tassels after weaving in the ends of my work.

I really hope she likes it!




**edit**
She loved it!! I'm so happy. It looks amazing with her leather jacket, too.
