The mesh stitch is an economical way to use one ball of fancy yarn. The scarf can be spread out or scrunched up, which gives a variety of looks. I really liked the “Crocheted Mesh Scarf” by lilibethsgarden, but I didn’t want to do row after row of “double triple crochet.” The Crochet Stitch Bible provided a great alternate gridded mesh.

The pattern uses an easy two row repeat with double crochet and chains. It is written in US crochet terms.
