Hill Country Weavers - Hill Country Yarn Crawl 2013 pattern

Inspired by the vibrant color, pointed leaves, berry clusters and graceful arching branches of the American Beautyberry bush, this infinity loop scarf echoes the Texas native plant. Knit with one skein from the center out to the edges, this lightweight-but-large loop could prove to be a wardrobe staple year-round with an arched lace structure and gentle scalloped points.
