It feels to me like Christmas. Very festive. If made from pure alpaca, it is also extremely warm, luxuriously heavy and cozy like a hug. The scarf is knitted seamless in a round from one end to another with colour work sections on the ends and in the middle of the scarf and two sections of stockinette stitch in main colour.
