Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Totally agree with this being a super white elephant gift. Yes it is novelty, but there is something very smart looking about this holiday scarf that appeals to most people. I have always wanted to make a holiday, novelty yarn scarf. I can start with this one. Perhaps add a metallic yarn into the mix!

This pattern works up quickly enough that you could easily make up a nice scarf in an afternoon. I havent tried the edging yet, but I found no problems with the scarf section of the pattern, other than I think there should be a ch 1 after joining emerald on row 4. I really like how the even rows create the criss-cross look to the bottom of the shells.

row 4 does not work out right, i think sc in top of shell is missing, please check

Another Roseanna Beck beautifully creative piece. Gorgeous!
