Flat crochet cables form leaves that stack into beautiful, rhythmic lines, creating the little Vija Scarf. Vija is a Latvian female name that also means “twist.”
A one-skein project, it’s small enough to make relatively quickly, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged – and perhaps teach you a new technique along the way. The result is a small but striking accessory, ready for crisp mornings, layered outfits and, very likely, a few compliments.
This is a written pattern with additional videos.
