Prickly Pear Scarf is worked side to side in a textured stitch to create a shallow triangle scarf that is perfect for wrapping around your neck for those cool desert evenings in the winter. This pattern was specifically designed for my LYS, Tempe Yarn and Fiber, with their in-house yarn called Dyelicious Yarns. This pattern not only works great for the solid tweed yarn, but it would also look great in multi-colored, tonal, and speckled yarns. Pattern includes instructions for both the narrow version and the wide version.
