This scarf reminds me of some flowers who have a center that is bursting with color and then the color fades as it reaches the edges of the petals, turning into a soft blush, a little whisper of color.
This short scarf is ideal for gifts and charity projects because it uses very little yarn and works up really fast. It is also relatively easy.
