Poppy Scarf

The Poppy Scarf's meant to feel like a looong bouquet of springtime wildflowers that won't wilt even in the cold winter months. It's knit in the round using stranded colorwork, which makes it extra cozy-thick and also double sided! **GAUGE:** 20 stitches & 22 rows in 4" of stockinette colorwork **NEEDLES:** US 7 (4.5 mm) DPNs or circular needles with a a 22"+ cable to work with magic loop. **RECOMMENDED YARN:** a worsted-weight wool or acrylic yarn. I used Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted, but it can be a little scratchy if you have sensitive skin! I'd substitute with Cascade 220 Worsted, Knit Picks Swish Worsted, or another worsted yarn you like.
