Crochet Pattern: Pinky Circle Scarf

I’m releasing a new free crochet pattern every week through December. Each one can be made with 3 skeins of yarn or less, and would make a great gift (for someone else, or as a reward to yourself for all of your holiday crafting!).

This post contains affiliate links. The yarn for the sample was generously provided by Rowan.

Everyone has a friend who is always “too hot.” (It used to be me!) I designed the Pinky Circle Scarf with this friend in mind.

This peek-a-boo ripple stitch pattern is the perfect solution. Even when worn with two wraps around, there’s a little air around the neck, too.

This circle scarf is crocheted flat. The border is worked in the round with a slip stitch join. The stitch pattern is a simple 4 row repeat (and, 2 of those rows are the same!), and it uses just 2 skeins of Rowan Pure Wool Worsted.

If you make your own Pinky Circle Scarf, I’d love to see it! Share your progress and questions by tagging me on Facebook as @Underground Crafter or Instragram as @ucrafter.

Add the Pinky Circle Scarf to your Ravelry favorites or queue.
