This scarf was inspired by the two movies, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Throughout those movies, the British women wear woven scarves/shawls over their shoulders and around their necks and heads like the traditional pieces worn by women in India. Those scarves are simple, attractive, and extremely long. This scarf seeks to capture that simplicity while evoking a bit of the architectural style from the land of marigolds.

Beads, though optional, give a nice sparkle to the centers of the flowers.

Instructions are given to shorten the length of the scarf.
