Happy Valentines Day to all my readers!

I am super excited to announce the release of my next pattern in the Crossroads Collection. The Crossroads Scarf! I have designed both an Adult and Children’s version with options for regular or long length. Like my dishcloth pattern, I used the link stitch and crossed double crochet stitch to create an elegant unisex scarf pattern.

You can find pattern pdf’s for the adult and children’s sizes available for purchase individually in my Ravelry Store or at a discounted price when bundled together!

The Crossroads Adult Scarf in regular length is available for free here on my blog and you can also find my link stitch photo tutorial on my blog here! Enjoy!
