The Falling Flowers Scarf - modified, and finally finished!

I started this scarf right around Thanksgiving. My plan was to finish it in time for my daughter's birthday, but I didn't quite make it. Finally wove in the last end on 12/21. It probably should be blocked, but my daughter is too excited to wear it...

Anyway, this is based on the Falling Flowers pattern by Anne Kingstone. I did a yarn substitution to Trendsetter's Merino VI superwash, so I never was able to get the gauge and have a soft knit. To compensate, I changed the flower pattern so that it was a single column of flowers rather than the double column in the original pattern. It turned out to be a bit over 4" wide, which is perfect for my little girl. I think my scarf is a bit less smooth in the motifs as a result of the larger gauge, but my daughter likes it just fine.
