Notes

YARN: Main body of scarf in White pastel sparkle Mohair and the Orange sections in unknown yarn held along with Sparkle Plenty carry-along.

COLOR: Accurate.

MODs:
CO 24sts with US 17 needles.
knit as to pattern
Switch to smaller ndls. and holding Copper and Orange yarns together knit Section 2:
Row 1: K2tog to last 2 sts then SSK.
Row 2 (and continuing): Garter st. as pattern.
As pattern calls for switch to larger needles and mohair and increase one st each side on first mohair row to return to 24 sts.
My scarf has a total of 7 white poofs, two white ends and 8 orange sections.

ANOTHER OPTION: One could graft both edges on the back side (as the edges tend to roll) and make this into white balls that are connected by the flat orange sections. For fun one could also stuff each sections before completing the seaming to really make them look puffy and round -- like snowballs. :D

CARE: first 4 pics are after washing. Put into net bag and washed in washer on hand wash/delicate cycle, warm water. I pulled the poofs into wide sections, see pic 4 and placed on the dryer to dry. The scarf did dry with flatter circular looking sections, rather than the original poofs. For poofs see pics 5-7, before washing. It looks good either way.
