Cool Everyday Scarf

Previously I made a scarf and hat that were on the brighter side the Sunshine Scarf and Hat. The kind that when you wear everyone notices you. Now I decided to go the opposite way. It is still elegant and has class but does not scream “I am here”.

OK now, don’t judge me. I really wanted the scarf in these colors and weight 2 or 3. I looked in our local stores but they had none. So I decided to order online, not knowing that the store was located in Europe. Other times it might have been fine, but with Covid-19, things are no longer the same. That is why I think I haven't received the yarn although it has been a month.

Anyway, we always have to do what we have to do, right?. I was itching to start and I am sure you understand what I mean, you crocheters out there. So,I went through my stash and found this baby Bee Sweet delight yarn. It is soft and just the right weight. After a swatch I was like, ok, this is it.
