INSPIRATION
Barbara may look like a simple top down triangular scarf from the first glance but it’s a curious exercise in how details matter - spine increases are Barbara Walker’s raglan increases used on my Barbara Tee and two color I-Cord bind off completes the look (doesn’t it remind you of candy cane?)
