Step back and it turns into a horse.

Close up you see flowers: small dark blooms and pale sprigs scattered across a soft sage green ground. From across a room the dense cluster in the middle resolves into a horse at full stretch, drawn entirely out of the blossom. The reverse is a plain charcoal grey with a fine black border, so you can turn the quiet side out when the print is too much.

At 25 by 74 inches this is blanket scale rather than a neck scarf. It is long enough to loop twice at the collar with the ends still hanging, and wide enough to open out across the shoulders, or fold over a lap on a plane or at a desk that never gets warm enough. The ends are left frayed rather than stitched down, which is what keeps it looking relaxed instead of formal.

Both faces are finished, so it works flipped either way, or twisted once at the front so both tones show at the same time.
