My phone doesn’t recognise that as a QR code. What use is that?

Also, what’s with this obsession with the chorus? Most people don’t get beyond the intro. And the first line of the song is “we’re no strangers to love” at 20s, the title doesn’t kick in until 3:30. I’ve never been deep-linked, is that a thing?

Then there’s the nasty rickrolling, where you’re connected to stuff like goatse, tub girl, threedirtyoldmen, etc.

(& folks, you probably don’t want to know, so don’t go looking.)

It’s an experiment. That’s just the beginning of the scarf. When it’s blocked out (technical term) and flattened it’s possible (no guarantee) it might work. It was worth a try. I’m still working on it. The scarf now has an elaborate fair-isle swirly pattern, but it’s going to take ages. It was inspired by a friend of mine who acquired the same QR code as an embroidered patch. That works. As I said before, mine is an experiment.
