The Vintage Crochet Scarf, a free pattern celebrating the 2018 Puget Sound LYS Tour, successfully blends nostalgia and modernity. Inspired by our Vintage Crochet Throw & Afghan, the soft waves of crochet stitches can range from striking to soothing—it all depends on your color choice!

We love the quality of weightlessness that Isager’s Silk Mohair brings to this crocheted scarf. It’s a glowing, lace-weight, mohair/silk blend that’s so light, it nearly defies gravity. Of course, leave it to Isager to devise an exquisite color palette—full of soft, lustrous shades each more delicious than the last.
