New Free Pattern: Barret Scarf

Even though winter comes every year (particularly in Wisconsin) I still am caught un-prepared every year. The past winter came with chilling winds and blustery days so I needed to whip up some scarves for hubby and I and I needed them quick! This is where bulky yarn and size 11 needles came in handy.
