 NOTES
This scarf is the perfect piece for an intermediate beginner to make. It begins at one
end, increasing at each side of the centre st to create a tapered look. One end is a few
inches longer than the other for a nice drape. The main body of the scarf features an
airy garter ridge stitch pattern. The scarf is worked using two strands of mohair held
together throughout.
