Archer
Wrap up in a grandly oversized blanket-scarf this fall. Archer, by European-born and Las Vegas-based designer Natalya Berezynska, is a cable and openwork scarf made for crisp fall days, featuring a gorgeous openwork motif that creates a squishy, leaf-like allover pattern. Simple cable accents run from the deep ribbed edges and flow naturally through the pattern motif. The slip stitch edges create an i-cord like finish requiring no extra steps. From cast on to bind off, this project, is a delight only topped by wearing it throughout the years to come.
