This scarf was created for the Cal Crochet A Long Design-a-Scarf Challenge 2022. The colours of the yarn and the time of year that we are slowly entering, Autumn, inspired the name of this shawl. The yarn is called Crisp Apple and Crisp Autumn. The purples of the yarn reminded me of plums and orchard fruits ready for harvest.
