Renee's NRG [U]FC Scarf
Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Renee fell in love with derby at the very first bout. She has since headed up the Unofficial Naptown Roller Girls’ Fan Club. Complete with Web site, interviews, photos, and pep rallies, they are one of the greatest things about roller derby. While the UFC is loud on the sidelines (they have noisemakers, tambourines, and other ear-splitting instruments), Renee has the rare voice that can actually be heard from anywhere in the pack, even over the voices of screaming roller girls and fans. She and the rest of the fan club can also be seen wearing their homemade fat T-shirts, bandannas, and face paint. This simple striped scarf in team colors uses garter stitch and Fair Isle, and is perfect for Renee and any other roller-derby fan to show their team colors any time of year. It’s thin enough fro summer, especially if you choose to knit it in a light cotton blend. This wool blend is perfect for fall or winter, when your favorite fans are standing outside waiting to get in and kick off the season!”
