knit blanket scarf done in color block and stripes

Salem Blanket Scarf

When Lion Brand asked me to design something for Halloween I was super excited. Fall is my favorite time of the year and the colors are totally my thing. I wanted to create something that was mindless, but classy, while also using some really great classic Fall colors. I’ve been wanting to design a blanket scarf for awhile now, so this just seemed like the perfect opportunity to bring it to life.
