Unit X Final Collection.

I found that whilst knitting and designing my scarves I made many key decisions. I decided my base colours for both my scarves would be navy, deep gold and green, and each scarf would feature a brighter colour of either red or light gold. This contrast of the two scarves works well as they now stand out from one another.
The length of the scarves was a challenge as I did not want them to end up being too short, so to overcome this I decided to make them 3 meters long, which would make them oversized and exaggerated.

The photoshoot was fun and interesting to see my accessories on the body. I styled my scarves with plainer clothing underneath so the scarves would be the main detail of the look. I decided to pair my scarves with a bomber jacket which had a fine polka dot print; this print added a slight contrast to the scarves which worked well as within my scarves there are contrasting structures.
I think the final outcome of these scarves has been successful as they show off my bright colour palette, and contrasting structures. This is due to my varied techniques of drop stitch, holding check, tuck stitch and mock rib. These techniques are effective at showing off the colour proportion. The final scarves are a reflection of my final collection and I am happy at how they hang on the body and can be styled to liven up outfits.
