Red Sheila
This pattern uses the basic feather and fan pattern from "The Harmony Guide: Lace and Eyelets" with a large size needle to create a soft, squishy scarf that is of a sizeable length. I made it for Sheila, one of my nurses at the maternity ward when I delivered my son. She was extremely helpful and I wanted to make something nice to show my appreciation.
