School Bus with Friends Scarf

The “School Bus with Friends Scarf” is a great beginner overlay mosaic crochet pattern!

This charming design features a school bus and joyful kids ready to go to school.

Not only is this scarf perfect for your child or yourself… it is also a great way to express your gratitude to your child’s school bus driver.

You can even make it in your child’s school colors!

This overlay mosaic crochet pattern is worked using one yarn color at a time - no changing colors in the middle of the row!

Some of our testers used their own creativity and changed colors throughout the row.

If you work from the charts, you can do color changing; however, instructions are not included for color changing.

You can use nearly any yarn and hook combination.

High-contrast colors are recommended so that the design stands out beautifully.

Designed for all skill levels, the pattern includes easy-to-follow instructions, full written pattern for left- and right-hand crocheters, plus clear charts!
