Pattern description from Weekend Knitting: “Here’s a great project for a beginning knitter - or any knitter needing a quick fix. The alpaca-merino yarn is soft and luxurious, a treat for the fingers. The color is soothing and beautiful, candy for the eyes. The knitting - garter stitch all the way through is done on huge needles, thus gratification is super quick. Shown here at a dramatic 8 feet, this scarf can be equally appealing at nearly any length.”
