This scarf is perfect for a confident beginner in crochet. It uses a simple pattern repeat that gives maximum visual impact and is easy to customise for width and length, so can be made as a skinny scarf or a wide wrap. It can also be made in any weight yarn; just make sure you use a hook big enough to give a very open fabric.

This pattern uses UK crochet terms.

Please note: an earlier version of this pattern was originally published in Inside Crochet issue 22.
