Named Roadster because it’s a convertible (get it?), this quick and easy project is knit in a great big rectangle. Buttoned and looped around your neck a couple of times,  it’s a big, cozy cowl. Unbuttoned, it’s a long, soft scarf. The simple lace stitch gives the bulky yarn a lot of drape and the combination of big yarn and big needles guarantee this project will zip along as quickly as its namesake.
