Alternating Shells and V’s Crochet Scarf
Choose your favorite worsted weight yarn and hook size to make this crochet scarf pattern. A stitch multiple is provided making it easy to customize in size, whether you’re making it for a child or an adult.
I chose a plain color, but the stitch also looks nice in stripes or color blocks. The color options are endless from a simple stripe on one or both ends to bold stripes throughout.
It is worked up with a pretty shell and v-stitch to create a nice lace and texture on both sides of the fabric.
