Do not feel tied into our design, please experiment with color, size, and amounts until you come up with a design that you like.

Finishing: Using the main color of the scarf, seam the flowers and leaves into place. Try to sew into the purl stitches on the backside of the flowers and leaves for the most seamless looking stitching.
