As I begin working to move up to Michigan, I realized I am horribly unprepared for the cold. I live in Memphis. I haven’t needed anything warmer than a sweater in 7 years. So I made this blanket scarf. It’s perfect to drape over myself on a cold Memphis night, but warm and big enough to wrap all over when the Michigan cold enters my life.

The drape lets it easily wrap as you like, whether that’s around your neck and head, or casually over your shoulders. It’s the perfect piece to add to your scarf collection, plus it’s so fun to make. It plays with colors and textures to let you create a scarf that is perfect for you!
