Airy Shells Scarf

Airy Shells Scarf

The natural loft of mohair makes this easy scarf both elegant and warm. It’s light as a cloud to wear, and drapes softly. The scarf works up so quickly with a large hook and no blocking… so there’s time before the holidays to make several, for yourself and the girlfriends/sisters you love.
