I am a little addicted to snowmen. We finally got a little snow in Utah and I started thinking that “snowballs” could make cute polka dots. I think they added a cute, whimsical touch to my scarf. Of course, this scarf would be really pretty without them too. The texture is created with basic sts and is easy to do. I hope you will enjoy this project.
