Under Color Crochet

These two pretty pieces are as cool as they are warm. Not exactly true blue, maybe mixed with some sea-breezy green, the colors are minty fresh, like a cool autumn morning. And the fluffy textures compliment those colors perfectly, like being all tucked in all warm and snuggly on a winter night. I love the look and feel of these two scarves, and I could wear them year round. I had way too much fun experimenting with edging the ruffles.
