If you know the basics of crochet, you can make this sophisticated scarf for yourself or as a great gift for men, women, boys or girls. All you need is a few hours and a worsted weight yarn of your choice.

This scarf was named for the debonaire Fred Astaire who surely would have loved its classic graphic looks, versatility and luxury. I can’t guarantee that you’ll dance like him, but you’ll definitely feel great making and wearing this, and so will anyone you give it to.

If you’re always looking for something fast and inexpensive to make for holiday and birthday gifts, this pattern will become a favorite.

The finished basic scarf measures 72 inches X 3 1/2 inches. There’s a page full of yarn suggestions and design variations to ensure that you’ll use this pattern many times to make a variety of scarves.

The pattern is written in logical sentences with no abbreviations and includes five large photographs.

This pattern comes with my designer support. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact me. My email is on all of my patterns and I’m always glad to help.
