Watching snowflakes drift slowly down while waiting for the bus home, the air is crisp and fresh. Thoughts of hot chocolate and a crackling fire bring feelings of anticipation and homeliness. You snuggle your chin closer into the softness of the scarf feeling as though wrapped in a cozy blanket.

This scarf is a fun knit that is mostly worked in stockinette for simplicity, but kept interesting by its angular shaping. The blocks of contrast with a pop of colour give it visual interest along with some subtle texture and bit of eyelet lace. Worked in bulky yarn it makes a bold statement and is super cozy to wear!

Finished Size 6” wide by 95” long, including fringe, for bulky weight version; 5 1/2” wide by 86” long, including fringe, for worsted weight version.
