ruffly scarf






happy new year everyone!
my husband and i run in different schedule - he gets up at 5am every morning, go for a run, prepare a break fast and wakes me up at 7am. he goes to bed at around 9 or 10. for me, i stay up a couple more hours after he goes to bed to sew. i stayed up till 11:30 to sew last night - one of the things i made was this scarf.
i did not knit, i just used the material, that's knit fabric. two rectangles on top of each other, and i finished with ruffled edge. my favorite part is this bow appliqué. i think it turned out so cute!
