Horizon is a soft, single-ply, wool blend yarn in a bulky weight for quick, warm knits. Its gently variegated colors create a smooth transition from one to another – with a strand of slubby silk adding interest in the form of a subtle tweedy look.


The same half circular motif is used in both scarves. Version 1 has two long rows of motifs joined along the long center line creating scallops that ruffle along each long edge of the scarf. For Version 2, the motifs are joined in a column at each end of the scarf, interspersed with garter stitch.
