Crocodile Stitch Scarf

You may be asking yourself, "Why is she posting about scarves when it is still unnaturally hot outside?" Well, to put it simply, I just love to make scarves and this one is my absolute favorite!

About a year ago I found these really beautifully colored yarns (Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable) and just couldn't pass them up. But like I usually do, I compulsively bought them with no project in mind. So my stash grew slightly bigger and I was once again stumped. Until I started brainstorming...

The crocodile scale stitch is really quite beautiful and is a really easy "pattern" to learn. I designed my own pattern for a triangle scarf using this stitch. Here is the latest one.





This pattern uses just less than one full skein of this particular yarn. I love the self-striping because even using the same color yarn, you still get slightly different results with 2 different skeins. Here are a couple more I have done.




I have this pattern for sale on both Ravlery and Etsy. BUT, if you would like to get a FREE copy, become a follower of my page and comment on this post with your email address and it will be sent right over to you!

Happy Crocheting :)
