Toddler Scarf

Toddler

US H/8 (5.00 mm)

Scrap yarn from your stash (scarf in main image used Red Heart Fiesta). Yarn should be smooth and weight no thicker than worsted.

Pink, less than one skein. (For comparison, full skein of Fiesta equals 316 yards.)

Notions:

Yarn Needle

• For beginners, this scarf will help you practice your basic crochet stitches and for experienced crocheters, you’ll have opportunity to really play with color combinations from your scraps to come up with fun scarves.
• When I worked the above scarf for my granddaughter who was about to turn two, I used just one color. When I worked the scarf for my older granddaughter, I used Red Heart Super Saver in Lavender and Red Heart Monet. I simply worked the rows until I felt like changing color so there were no set number of rows for each color.
• If you wish you can easily adapt it to be an adult size by working it with a larger hook (to make it wider than four inches) or by working it holding two strands of yarn together and making it as long as you wish.
• Due to the nature of the stitches making the wavy look I would avoid textured or bulky yarns.
