Crocheted Scarf

crochet - easy textured scarfI recently took a crochet class. I have never been able to master crocheting, even though I tried several times.

I finally did it.  I was able to complete this scarf after one class.  The pattern can be found on Ravelry.  This Textured Easy Scarf uses both double and single crochet.  I used an entire skein of Red Heart yarn to complete.

While I think I will continue to focus on knitting, it is nice to have another skill in my repertoire for when I find a project I love that uses crocheting.
