Triangle Scarf with Summer Flowers

Cymone chose the color for this scarf.  I can't say I would have made the same decision, though it will look great against her blue eyes.  I made up the pattern and added knitted flowers to tone the turquoise down a little.

2 skeins Classic Elite Cricket yarn

DO NOT BIND OFF.  Break yarn and leave tail.  Set aside.
Once you have 5 petals, carefully place them face-up in a circle.  Stitches should face center of circle.  Thread a tapestry needle with the tail of your 5th petal.  Run the needle through each set of stitches in sequence.  Pull the thread tight, weave in tail.  Weave in all tails & trim.

Sew each flower along the bottom edge of your completed triangle scarf and you're done!
