This scarf is the result of experimenting with different combinations of stitches to create a cozy and warm scarf that is squishy and full of texture. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn in Taupe and Barley. I started with full skeins and used approximately 1/3 of the Barley and less than 1/3 of the Taupe to make the scarf.
