Symmetrical Scallops Scarf

This scarf was inspired by a vintage counterpane (bedspread) pattern, and is long enough to keep you just as warm. Knit in two pieces, the scarf is joined at the center to create symmetrical, scalloped edges on each end. The self-striping yarn does the color work for you.
