The Desert Highway Scarf is a simple, beginner-friendly pattern but the finished result screams “statement
piece.” The classic crochet granny square technique gets a major glow-up in the form of a funky, geometric
hexagon motif. These individual hexagons are joined together with an unusual, tapered seaming technique,
giving a lace-like, airy drape to this chunky, crocheted number. The unique textures and trims of art yarn really
get a chance to shine in this design and it is an opportunity to let your creativity run wild
when it comes to mixing yarns!
