I love to collect sock yarn, especially handpaint sock yarn. Sometimes I want to drape that sock yarn around my neck so I can see it and enjoy it rather than wear it on my feet! That’s where the inspiration for this scarf came from. It combines knitting and crochet and is very easy to knit and so much fun to wear. It’s a great pattern for using up leftover sock yarn or for that special handpaint sock yarn that you just had to buy!

Knits up quickly and is a great take-along project to work on while watching the kids at soccer or baseball. Or when you are waiting at the doctors office or when traveling.
