Free Crochet Pattern – Reef Ruffle Scarf

“Transitional” wardrobe accessories are items that take you through the changing seasons, the in-between of late winter into spring, or fall into winter, and I’ve got a great “transitional” crochet pattern for you, the “Reef Ruffle Scarf.”

Temperatures will be warming up soon (hopefully), but in the meantime, keep the chill off your neck (and look fabulous while doing it) with this “Reef Ruffle” Scarf, a delightfully easy project. The length is completely customize-able, and it’s an opportunity to really have fun and add a pop of color to your outfits.

This is one of those patterns that have been sitting in the depths of my early crochet notebooks in the form of chicken scratch. Not all patterns make it to see the light of day, but I’m so glad I decided to dust this one off and rewrite it. The ruffles around the edge really remind me of the coral reef (thus the name), and the bright colors lend themselves beautifully to the scarf.

If you make this scarf I’d love to see pictures! Feel free to add it to your Ravelry queue and favorites here: Free Crochet Pattern – Reef Ruffle Scarf
