Herringbone Parallogram Scarf is just long enough to wind around the neck and cross over the chest, without leaving the ends to show under a jacket waist. I’ve written the instructions for fingering (sport, dk, worsted) weight yarns, as if they were sizes, for ease of substitutions.

Origin Story
I made this scarf for Dan the year we were engaged. I’d already made him 3 sweaters and a vest, so the boyfriend curse was long gone. (Not that I’m really superstitious. Most of the time when I knit for men, they loose 20 lbs before the sweater is done, and it doesn’t fit them any more. That’s kind of hard to call a curse though.)
It was my bus knitting, but I was using such a fine handspun, that I had to bribe myself to keep it going with science fiction paperbacks from the library. When the original scarf disappeared, Dan was bummed, not because I was mad at him (I was.) but because it kept him warm when the wind tried to blow through his front zipper. That Northern Illinois wind.
So, I knew it would be a great scarf to write up to sell. And the photography sample blocks the Massachusetts wind really well.
