Soft as Lamb Scarf

I made the pictured Soft as Lamb scarf for my sister. 

It's a light fluffy scarf that has a nice drape due to using a larger hook size than called for with worsted weight yarn.  I'm happy with the end result, but it was a bit quirky to make trying to get both sides symmetrical. 

I used  Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Wheat that I had stored in my stash.  I thought the natural color would go with a lot of things and in that sense, she would get a lot of use out of it.  It's not a Christmas present, just a "sisterly" gift and I'll give it to her next time I see her.

So with all that being said, here are the instructions for my scarf:
