The Easy Breezy Scarf is a super beginner friendly crochet scarf pattern! It uses one basic crochet stitch, the half double crochet stitch, worked in back and forth rows.
You can easily customize the length and width to be any size, and you can leave it as a long, straight scarf, or sew the ends together to be an infinity scarf or cowl!
This is a great mindless project. Make one for yourself, kids, or friends or family! Perfect for bundling up in the winter!
