THIS IS A SIMPLE, FUN DESIGN WHICH PLAYS WITH STRIPES OF TREBLES AND HALF TREBLES THAT RUN VERTICALLY DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SCARF. HERE I'VE USED A SPICY COMBINATION OF COLOURS FOR A REALLY BOLD LOOK BUT IT'S GREAT WAY TO USE UP SMALL AMOUNTS OF 4PLY THAT WOULD ALSO WORK WELL IN A MIX OF COOLER SHADES. FOR A WIDER SCARF SIMPLY CONTINUE WORKING IN STRIPE PATTERN.
