Delightful Scarf....

"Delightful Scarf" I worked up using Redheart With Love yarn.  The color combo is beautiful.  And, I really love the versatility in wearing this multiple ways.  It worked up rather quickly.

If you're pressed for time like so many of us are these days, then no worries.  PIN now and save for later.
