The Christmas season is my most favorite time of year, and a scarf is the perfect item to wrap yourself up in some holiday cheer.

Valley Yarns Amherst is 100% merino, super soft, and unbelievably inexpensive. It also shows stitches beautifully, so it’s a perfect yarn for this scarf.

Because it’s knit on US9’s, it works up in a flash, and though the stitch pattern is deceptively simple, it’s interesting enough to hold your attention.
