I thought it would great to show you how to make a simple scarf that does not require a lot of experience. All you need to know is the basic stitch double crochet.This design is very simple and great for improving your skills and maybe speed if that what you are aiming for
I don’t know about you and how you feel about winter/fall and spring accessories but I love some coziness around my neck. I know some people hate the idea of something around their neck, some come from the fact that they have to constantly adjust the scarf because if keeps slipping, some do not like the idea of something bulky around their neck because it is suffocating
Well, I am here to present you, Chinook scarf, this was my very first pattern I designed few years ago. Here in western Canada, we have what is called chinook winds, they are basically a type of warm and dry winds can make temperatures to increase within few hours during winter. We can go from -20 degrees Celsius to – 10 degrees overnight. This scarf is perfect for those kinds of situations.

Yarnspirations Ogo yarn is what I used for this pattern.I love how clean the stitches come out using this yarn.It is soft, the elasticity is amazing. There are different colours in one big donut but I separated the colours and caked them so that I get clean colour changes. I used only donut for this pattern. The yarn is 100% acrylic and you can use any worsted weight yarn.
You can also use the following yarns.
