Description: The leaves become the outer edge of the scarf. Add a border of slip stitches to keep the scarf edges from rolling and to provide a bit of definition to the leaves. Although simple, this edging technique takes a few minutes to master. Try it for a few rows on a practice swatch before you start the scarf.

intense learning experience Review by Ariel Nesbitt

I decided to knit this scarf as my second project. Since this is a pretty detailed pattern it was frustrating initially. Things got much better once I got into it. I learned a lot about stitches while making this scarf and the end product makes the effort worth while. Give it a try!
