A classic motif handled cleanly, with lightweight warmth and sharp stitch definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scarf begins and ends with a folded stocking-stitch hem, and the long side edges are finished with picked-up edgings worked on a circular needle, so every edge is neat and nothing curls.
