Stained Glass Snowflake Scarf

This beautiful colourwork scarf looks intimidating but the designer includes full instructions that include step-by-step photos for the techniques used. This pattern also includes a charge for making the snowflakes. Bonus – there are no tails to work in on the scarf as the tails are used for the fringe!

The scarf measures approximately 5 1/2 inches wide by 50 inches long. You can easily adjust the length by working more or less of the repeats to make the scarf whatever size you would like. This pattern uses the tapestry crochet technique – which the designer has a video tutorial for if you are not familiar with it.
