I'm making an Alligator Scarf for my older nephew for Christmas.
The yarn isn't as soft as I like for something that is advertised as 'merino'. Hopefully, it will soften after I wash it; if not, I can spritz it with some leave-in hair conditioner.
The pattern is easy enough, but I wish they had charts as well as written directions, because I understand charts so much better.
If this winds up as easy as I think it will, I am totally making one for myself, out of worstedweight yarn instead of sportweight. I saw some Malabrigo in Dusty Olive today that would make a very convincing gator!
There is also a new Baby Gator pattern that is tempting, but I think the littler nephew would chew on the scarf more than wear it...
