In December, the nice folks at Cascade sent me a box of new-to-me yarns, including a skein of Cascade Anthem Chords yarn, a soft acrylic yarn. It has a nice feel to it so it makes a very comfortable scarf to wear close to the skin. It’s also machine washable and dryable, so it’s great for making gifts or projects to donate.
I used a very simple stitch pattern, so this is a project that a beginner can make. (I made it while watching some streaming tv, so that’s also an option for a more advanced crocheter. If you want to use the same colorway, it’s called 301 Atlanta.
