The Fat Sheep Scarf

My first thought once I finished this scarf...ooh, this would look pretty in some three irish girls yarn. LOL. Also a great way to show off the color in heavily verigated yarns. Enjoy!

This scarf is a really nice marriage of yarn and pattern. I like how the colors are represented without any pooling. Great job!

This is a great pattern, actually I am in the process of working on it! I bought this great Noro colored, multicolored yarn, and I plan on making a nice scarf with this pattern thanks!
