Button-Trimmed Scarf
From the book:
This small scarf, made in basic single crochet, is worked in natural tones of tweed yarns softened with wisps of fine mohair. Crocheted in a random strip sequence to blend the colors together for a hand-dyed effect, the scarf is trimmed with mother-of-pearl buttons that reflect the colors of the yarns.
