DescriptionScarf made of two pieces of warp-woven wool (turned sideways) and joined with cotton crochet. The colors are pink, purple, apple green, brown, teal blue, white and yellow. On either side of the crocheted area are three rows of embroidery and two crocheted bands. The four sides of the apron are finished with a pink tape that has been machine quilted. The apron's lower section is trimmed with gold metallic fringe. A row of gold bugle beads lies on a crocheted, yellow stripe and is enhanced with clear, glass beads. Twisted, hot-pink threads serve as ties.
