Crochet this trendy women's scarf in either Lion Brand Fancy Fur yarn, or the super-bulky eyelash yarn of your choice. The scarf works up quickly. It is crocheted using a V-stitch in brick repeat.
Subtle Striped Eyelash Yarn Scarf Pattern
This scarf was designed in long rows of subtle stripes. While the stripes add visual interest, they aren't the first thing you notice; it's the eyelash yarn that catches your eye.
My sample scarf was crocheted using a combination of Caron Simply Soft along with Lion Brand's Fun Fur eyelash yarn. You can feel free to substitute any comparable yarns if you like.
One of the fantastic things about eyelash yarn is that it works well with the simplest of crochet stitches. This scarf is worked in single crochet stitch, and it's an easy pattern to crochet.

This pretty scarf is made using Lion Brand Nature's Choice organic cotton yarn. This scarf is perfect for wearing on those unpredictable days in spring and fall when you never know what the weather is going to do.
