This is a scarf inspired by a trip to SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair) held in Asheville, NC in October 2022: Blue Ridge Mountains, fall foliage, winding roads, falling leaves, bamboo stands, and yarn everywhere you look!

There are 10 sections to the scarf, each of which is 44 rows in length. Each section is expected to be worked in 1 color, but use as many colors, in any order, as you wish. This pattern is designed to be worked from the charts. Text is provided for each segment to help establish the position of the motifs. Individual motif patterns are found at the end of the pattern with full text descriptions.
