When blocked, the scarf has slightly undulating edges, and a slightly ridged and irregular three dimensional surface. The pattern can be used for a variety of projects from a scarf to a shawl, afghan or cushion cover.

CC in the stranded pattern is mostly Buttermilk, with small amounts of different colors added to create gradient effects.
There’s plenty of scope to be creative with color here!
