Double V Shell Scarf with Scalloped Edges

11/1/2010 by Christina M. Lee

Skill Level:
Intermediate (If using Homespun, because it is a bulky yarn and hard to crochet with, I do not recommend
beginners use this yarn.)
Easy (If using any 4 ply worst weight yarn, see suggestions below).

Gage: Not important

Materials:
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn, Baroque (or color of your choice) 2 Skeins
(For a not so bulky look use any 4 ply worsted weight (non-bulky) yarn, color of choice and a H hook.
Ideal yarns would be Vanna’s Choice, Caron Simply Soft, I Love This Yarn, Red Heart Soft, or Loops
and Threads.) (The step by step instructions below show what the scarf will look like in a worsted
weight yarn.

Here are some other scarves I have made with this pattern to show some of the different colors:

These two were for granddaughters Allyson and KC A Friend, Jessica's scarf, a gift.
Christmas Presents.
 Scarf for my best friend, Linda, for her birthday. This scarf was shorter than the 80 rows
I just love how some of the homespun yarns changes shades as you crochet.

I have now made 10 of these scarves for gifts.
