This design pays homage to my favorite thing about winter, SNOW! It shows a light snowfall turning into a thick blizzard. The sparse lice pattern, indicative of a light snow, is a nod to traditional Norwegian sweaters, as is the color combination. Sure enough the light snow turns into a heavy blizzard reflected in the busier color work chart portions of the scarf. I love how the snowflakes fit together like puzzle pieces. This luxurious scarf is designed to be wrapped twice for extra warmth.
