Mermaid Vibes Infinity Crochet Scarf

Throughout the project, the yarn is held double. Pro Crochet Tip: it is easiest to complete double-stranded projects by winding the yarn together with a yarn winder from the beginning. Once you have your yarn, feed the ends of yarn of your two skeins of yarn together through the ball winder. You will now have a new ball of yarn where the yarn is held double throughout. Say goodbye to tangled yarn and dealing with two balls at once during your double-stranded projects!

Peek a Boo Crochet Scarf

The pattern is a little unconventional in that, in order to achieve the knit look of the crochet in the 3rd loop rows without working in the round, the instructions call for you to finish off after each 3rd loop row and connect back up at the beginning of the row. It’s a little tedious, but well worth it for the final effect. And thankfully all those ends can easily be incorporated into the fringe, making for less weaving in!
