It’s always fun to find pink in the local landscape, here in the Foothills of the Canadian Rockies. Sometimes you find it over your head in the sky; sometimes you find it beneath your feet in the leaves and flowers. The pink of this scarf reminds me of the great, colourful sunsets during short but intense summers here in Western Canada.

This cozy scarf is made from 9 different stitch patterns, with garter ridges setting off each section. All 9 stitch patterns look good on the reverse side as well.
