Merry Christmas!

Well, I know it is late for Christmas day, but this post is delivered within the 12 days of Christmas, so here it is, my gift to you!

I designed this scarf as a gift for a friend. It is an adaptation of a pattern found in the Leisure Arts Little Books Beginner's Guide to Crochet Stitches and Easy Projects (green book) that I got at Walmart some years ago. I know that Hobby Lobby still carries this book. I have worked this scarf twice now, both times in Red Heart Worsted Weight and a size G hook. Use any yarn and hook combination that catches your fancy.
