Here is the scarf in my favorite color combo!! This scarf is so easy your head will spin! Supplies: H Hook Starbella Yarn Skill level This can be your VERY first crochet project!! First you need to spread out the yarn and look at the netting. The part that is thick is the bottom or the edging, it is what ruffles. The thinner side with the spaced out netting is the top and what we will be crocheting into. What we are doing is a chain, take turns between chaining in every hole and skips one or two holes. Continue chaining until you have the length desired. the yarn will curl and ruffle as you go. Knot and slip stitch to hide your end. Then repeat everything with a 2nd chain at the same length. Then you twist the two together and you have this CHIQ scarf!!! Try mixing colors or doing more than 2 strands for a thicker scarf! What colors do you like? Comment below!
