Then I’m decreasing one stitch at the end of every row until I have 8 stitches again. It’ll end up like a long rectangle with a point at each end.
It’s pretty slow, but it’s so pretty. Soft as a cloud and light as air. The color is even cloud-like. Hmm, maybe the soft scarf needs a new name.

It’s light as air and super soft. I can’t wait to wear it with my spring coat when the snow finishes [...]
