FROM THE SECOND I LAID EYES ON THIS YARN, IT SCREAMED WAVES! A brief dip into the Harmony Guide and a few dangling rings later,
this simple scarf was born. Worked in only seven long rows, its warm enough for chilly spring nights, soft enough to wear against bare skin,
and has sheen to add some air to casual beachwear.
