March in New England ~ so close to Spring, but I often find myself reaching for a light scarf and pop of color! Though, I designed this scarf with Spring on my mind, it’s perfectly modifiable for any season with directions for Fingering, DK, Worsted, or Bulky weight yarn.

There’s a local trail not far from where I grew up, and now live, called Crystal Springs. It’s just a short distance from town and a fun spot for a walk through the woods, whatever the season! Hope you enjoy Crystal Springs Scarf pattern ~ adaptable for any season.
