The colour of this soft grey scarf and the stitch motif brought to mind grey doves, and so the scarf is named Culferan which is Old English for dove. This scarf was created at the request of a friend. I found this stitch motif and saw it looked good on both sides (though not identical) and thought it would make a cozy scarf.
