This scarf is easy to make. The Herringbone Stitch that's used for the majority of the scarf is very easy to memorize and pretty fun to do. The scarf doesn't curl and the wrong side doesn't look half bad either! The beginning and ending have a slight chevron edge as
written instructions, but it's really not bad. By the end of the lace section, you'll probably have the pattern memorized, then completely forget it by the time you get to the end section. The stripes, of course, can be made any length you want if you'd like a longer or shorter scarf. If you make the scarf about $6"$ shorter or make the blue stripes or lace sections longer, you can make this scarf with only 1 skein of brown in-- stead of 2.
