Klappschal is a German word meaning folding scarf. It is a traditional shape that is made from a simple rectangle that is then folded and seamed. Requiring only 85 yds of each color of DK weight yarn, this is a great project for remnant yarn. A warm, fast, and stylish accessory for your winter wardrobe.

Created in Tunisian crochet, using Tunisian simple stitch.
