This scarf pattern uses various stitches to depict the story of Leaving Kansas. In the centre is a sunflower motif, the state flower of Kansas. This motif is initially knit in the round, then short rows are used to turn the centre panel into a square.Two of the sides are cast off and the remaining sides are worked parallel to each other. Each side of the motif contains lace patterns to work tornadoes, houses and wheat patterns. Edged in a moss stitch, this scarf is a complete story!
