Winter At Grandma’s Scarf

Winter was always warmer at Grandma’s, where there was a cosy chair, a warm hug, a crochet rug and nowhere else to be!

Available in Uk and US Terminology

This is a written crochet pattern available in both US and UK terminology. It includes symbol graphs and photographs to assist with construction and placement, making it easier to follow along as you work through the design

This scarf was designed to raid the yarn stash and use up those bits of yarn you just cannot bear to part with, but never seem to have quite enough of for another project.

DK weight yarn has been used for this design, but any DK weight yarn will work.

The scarf is made up of six large squares and ten small squares, finished with an edging and surface slip stitch detailing.

Optional tassels are included in the pattern, but if tassels aren't your thing, simply leave them off.

 A little help for Auburncraft

I've used Stylecraft Special DK for this design. If you're looking to purchase some, you can find it at LoveCrafts using this link. Stylecraft Special Dk

Just a little heads-up: this is an affiliate link, which means I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through it. It doesn't cost you anything extra, but it does help support my designing and keep Auburncraft ticking along. So, if you're buying yarn anyway, I'd certainly appreciate you using my link!
