I was inspired by my memories of autumnal leaves for this scarf. Striking shades of yellow, orange, and red mix with green on the landscape before creating blankets of leaves on the ground. The simple lace creates a soft pattern while also mimicking mini cables. A scarf perfect for chilly fall days!
