End Of Summer Scarf

Sit in the sun with a cool refreshing breeze, and enjoy the last days of summer with a small project to knit on- a shimmery linen scarf in Louise Harding Merletto. It takes only 3 balls and has an interesting pattern on both sides, right and wrong. The yarn is available in the honey beige as shown in our sample scarf, a medium blue, soft aqua, and a kiwi green.

Here is the pattern-
