Just For Fun: DNA Scarf

If you're a knitting science teacher and are looking for a new project to kick off summer vacation, have I got one for you....

the DNA scarf! 

The pattern comes from Two Sheep, for free.  You do need to know how to cable (which really is easier than it looks), but other than that, it's a simple pattern. 

How fun would it be to wear your new scarf when you start talking DNA next school year?

And if you're not a knitter, maybe you know one whom you could appropriately bribe to make one for you!
