If you are in need of a last-minute gift this is a quick handmade scarf perfect for a sister, mother, or wife. I would be so impressed if my husband made me a scarf for Christmas. All you need for this is a ball of yarn, and a skein of embroidery floss (that’s what a thing of embroidery floss is called which you can get from the dollar store) and about 20 minutes.
I used Patons Cobbles in Chargrey for the one pictured and black embroidery floss.
Thanks to Meaghan Patterson for this craft.

That’s it.Picture 6 – me wearing the scarfPicture 7 – finished scarf
