Vintage Crocheted Scarf

REQUIRED MATERIALS

5 Balls (any color – see below) Princess Pearl Crochet Cotton, Size 5
1 Steel Crochet Hook, No. 3

NOTE(s)

These instructions call for a scarf measuring about 52 inches long. If a scarf only 45 inches long is wanted, exclusive of fringe, four balls of Pearl Crochet Cotton will be sufficient. A chain of 79 stitches will make a scarf about 9 inches wide. This is a good width for a scarf.

Select any color desired. All of the following colors are good: rose pink, golden orange, blue, dark lavender, brown, dark green, tan, and cream.

If desired, you can have the scarf one color and have the double border at each end another color. Some good combinations are: deep pink with a border of cream, rose pink with a border of dark green, dark green with a border of lavender, and blue with a border of golden orange.
