The Jolly Ploughboy is a traditional Irish ballad that, as so many, speaks of lost love…although this one has a happy ending! Imagine sweethearts waiting for the return of their loved ones, plying needles to create tokens of love for their return.

This scarf is knit flat with the long edges of the scarf being the cast on and bind off edges. The unique cast on mirrors the i-Cord Bind Off, providing a lovely rounded edge for the two long sides while the stitch pattern uses pulled stitches for a beautiful look. The luxurious drape of Paragon will make this scarf a great addition to casual and formal wear alike.
