Cuddlesome Scarf

Author: Regina P Designs

Regina decided to go with color-blocking, and I can understand why! While such projects may look fairly basic laying on the table, they definitely transform while draped around the neck. Contrasting colors suddenly appear next to each other in an unexpected combination, and that’s what makes the graphic projects so appealing.

Autumn Fruits Cozy Scarf

Author: Carmen Heffernan

Easy reversible stitches are what crochet scarfs should be made of! Mock corner-to-corner technique looks elegant and seems much harder to make than it really is. In fact it’s a simple repeat that every beginner will be able to learn! Take a look at Carmen’s project below and see how cute these colorful fringe looks!

Autumn Chill Mod Scarf

I just love pom-poms, do you? They add the fun to the dullest project. This scarf by Megan, which you can see below, combines deep reds with dusty greys in the most beautiful way. Marroon pom-poms are the perfect finishing touch to this project, don’t you agree?

Rally Scarf

The scarf you can see in the photos is interesting, but it’s not only because of its many stunning colorways. It’s about the shape, which narrows down at both ends, leaving the widest part to cover up as much of your neck as it can. Such handmade accessory would be a lovely gift for a friend, or a family member.
