“What color would you like to use for Mary Marie’s scarf, little Miss?” asked the Yarn Baby.

“I think this is pretty,” answered Mary Frances, lifting a ball of rose-colored worsted.

“Mary Marie arose, ‘A rose,’ she cried, ‘A rose scarf- I propose!’” (P.55)

(Though you don’t need to make the scarf out of rose colored yarn, one may use left over for other projects, the pattern doesn’t mention how much yarn you need but it’s not a lot)
