Crochet: Skinny Scarf


I made some skinny shell scarves like this for my sisters and some girlfriends a few years ago and have been thinking about my own take on the pattern. This red scarf is take one. I crocheted it with Stitch Nation Bamboo Ewe yarn in Lipstick. It's a great, cool red.


I love lightweight scarves like this for wearing all day long. Such an opportunity for a shot of color. And so many ways to wear it: looped around and knotted, tied in a bow (would you?), looped a lot, doubled and pulled through a single loop. I think someone could even wear it as a belt. Hair wrap? I'm not sure what I could pull off, but there are possibilities for this scarf.


This one is going to a friend of mine who has started wearing scarves after a recent surgery. I am going to keep playing with the pattern though. I need one or two too. I'm thinking about two-tone. And Audrey wants one in a shade of blue. What about you?

    I love long scarves! My favorite one is nearly 10 feet long! I can wrap it around my neck twice and over my hair, and still have it hit the ground. It's fantastic!

    Yours if very pretty. I love that color.
