Inspired by @jessepinwheels's fic, Dielectric Breakdown.

There is a gift waiting for Cody when he visits the Archives to do some work a few days later. It is a double knit scarf in 212th colors--gold-on-white on one side, white-on-gold on the other. It is a wide scarf with a stylized sunburst pattern at both ends, which looks shockingly similar to the pattern he had once painted on his armor.

The test run was done in miniature because not only was this my first time with actual colorworking but I also had to teach myself doubleknitting. I used super cheap 100yen yarn which unfortunately turned out to be different weights, contributing to the yellow wrapping around one edge slightly.

(We don't talk about the other edge. It is a messy, poorly-tensioned eyesore.)

But whatever. Practice piece. It's fine! (It's fine.)

Anyway, next up is the "do as I say, not as I do" pattern for a Commander Cody teddy bear scarf! Mix and match the motifs as you like: I'm indecisive af but hopefully they will be useful to someone.

(Updated with fixes as I figure them out!)
