There is no lack of cowl patterns to be found on Ravelry. Seriously. Tons. And yet none of them was exactly-right for what I wanted… so I looked in other places (scarf designs) and found the perfect pattern (Shifting Sands by Grumperina).

I have been wanting to make the scarf for so long, this was a way to temper that desire and still get something I wanted. I give you: Vegas Sands! (Thought it was a pretty perfect name as the pattern I “stole” from is called Shifting Sands and the color reminds me a LOT of the neon entryway at the Flamingo Hotel in Vegas.)
