Climbing Vines Scarf



Climbing Vines Scarf

This scarf was a project to use up yarn left over from previous projects. It uses Fyberspates 4 ply, for the length of scarf here, I used approximately 3/4 of a skein. It is really soft and open, perfect for summer! You will also need a 4mm and a 3.5 mm crochet hooks. All terminology uses UK crochet names.

dc - double crochet
