So JaneEK below says that this is one of her favorite scarves. I guess I will take her word for it! What a smart looking design that seems quite easy to work up for me. The size is the perfect size for everyday wear. A black and red or a black and tan is a classic combo.

I have worked a lot of scarves and this one is my favorites by a long shot. There just arent that many patterned scarves that my husband (or my very macho sons) would wear in public. This is one pattern the sons have actually requested!
