Did an extra half of a repeat of the pattern in each color band to make the stripes wider.

Comments:

I like the way this scarf turned out, although I think the millet color contrasts with the others too much (see pic below).

I wear this scarf a lot and it is surprisingly warm. However, after wearing it for an extended amount of time the mohair can get a bit uncomfortable on my neck.

Also, I was a little disappointed that the lace pattern is really not visible in the darker colors unless you hold the scarf up to the light.

Here it is modeled by Daughter #1.
