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! This stunning project can be found at the Red Heart website here http//www.redheart.com/free-patterns/cross-stitch- == scarf Its available as a free download, so be sure to grab this one!
