The pretty zigzag stitch pattern on this free crochet scarf pattern is formed by a clever manipulation of treble stitches, making it an easy crochet scarf that even beginners can hook up quickly!
Designer Susie Johns says: “Is this a scarf or is it a wrap? Well, it depends how you wear it. This adaptable accessory – wide and soft, with a fun pompom trim – will definitely keep out the cold while attracting admiring glances. Shrug it casually around your shoulders and fasten at the front with a pin or clip, or wrap it around your neck – the choice is yours.”
