Snow Scarf
By Annie Baker jumpercablesknitting.com
Snow is a thick, tapered scarf made with super bulky yarn and 10mm needles. I used just under 6 skeins of Misti Alpaca Super Chunky 3 Ply. This design includes short-row knitting. The top border is done in garter stitch and the bottom border is ribbed. Enjoy!
