Lattice Scarf Crochet Pattern

 I love to crochet, and I love it when its something that is actually useful. I have short hair, and in the winter time my neck is always cold, even when I'm inside. So enters the super soft and cozy neck warmer! I finished this a few days ago and have worn it every day since! I was a little worried it might feel too bulky and big, but  the only thing I really notice about it, is that it is doing a fantastic job at keeping me feeling cozy and warm. I found 2 cute blue buttons to close it with. I liked it better with only one showing on the front, so I sewed the second on facing the back.

This is a super quick and easy pattern, even for newbies. Here's the pattern.

Materials Needed:

Yarn: 2 Yarn Bee Calcutta Chunky, White Lace  5 oz. skeins, (super bulky (6)).

Needle size: 10 mm

Buttons: optional

Yarn needle and Scissors for finishing off.

*The yarn and needle size are quite flexible. If you change either of them, just make sure to chain to the width you want your cowl to be. Nothing else in the pattern should change.

dc: double crochet
st: stitch
FPdc: Front Post double crochet
BPdc: Back Post double crochet
