I’ve been working on this easy crochet project, and I say -easy- because it consists of a bunch of granny squares sewn together combining three beautiful colors. To crochet this accessory, I used Chaski (60% Superwash Merino Wool, 30% Pima Cotton, 10% Linen). Even though sometimes fine strands seem intimidating, I believe it gives the project a delicate look. It also works perfect for the Peruvian’s season transition of spring/summer.
Now, you must know I’m not used to combining colors specially in garnments… reason why I decided to go for an accessory. I ended up really liking the result as it’s wearable with jeans and a basic tee. The handmade scarf definitely pops up.
The pattern is easy to follow specially for beginners hence it consists of basic stitches! Go ahead and take a look at the pattern so you can learn how to make this easy Granny Scarf.
