Get The Skinny Scarves
Design by Sandi Wiseheart
These light-hearted crocheted scarves are all worked exactly alike; their unique
personal­ities are due to the different yarns used to make each one: a colorful linen
blend for summer wear, a soft alpaca yarn for winter, and a festive ribbon yarn for
when you feel like celebrating. Worked length­wise on both sides of the foundation
chain, each scarf is a quick treat for a weekend or evening project.
