Parterre Scarf

With its satisfyingly intricate geometric cable pattern and areas of negative space, the Parterre Scarf evokes the puzzle-like arrangement of flower beds in formal gardens. The pattern includes two width options. Pair it with the coordinating Parterre Hat for a classic gender neutral set.
