This pattern is quick and elegant knit. Combined with crochet details, adds the right touch. I guarantee this scarf is quick and simple. The yarn I choose is soft and light weight and feels like a fluffy cloud. I am sorry there is no gauge measurements or yarn bran. I lost the label :/ but any fingering weight yarn should work great. If you do not crochet. No worried. You can easily replace the crochet flower and edging with a knit.
