Summer Suite Scarf

Summer Suite is an arc-shape scarf/shawlette worked outwards in a Tunisian crochet rib pattern. An interplay of increases and decreases forms fanciful leaf lines opening up carnation-like flowers edged with loops, created by a chained bind-off.

The pattern contains both fully written instructions and a chart.
