fiber arts : crochet : puff scarf

This has been a long running project for me. I picked away at it when I had nothing else going on. I figured that it was spring/summer when I was working on it and I didn't need it until winter. So there was no rush. I love the texture of this scarf. It feels substantial and nice. It is thick and warm and looks great too.
