Note from the designer: 

This pattern was made for simplicity and something fun to wear in the fall in Texas heat (where I live). I love dressing up for cooler weather and throwing together an outfit, but sadly this doesn't happen often. My love for crochet began with making scarves. They were simple and there were many different variations out there, but the chunky, double wrapped scarves are a little too much for most days in Texas. With a loose fit and only one loop, this scarf can be worn on days when all you feel is a slight breeze before the sun hits again.
