Braided Skinny Scarf Crochet Pattern

The Braided Skinny Scarf Crochet Pattern uses the Puff Stitch that creates the beautifully textured braided look.

The crochet pattern is written for a super long Skinny Scarf that uses 2 colors to bring out the braided look.

I designed this for a the Christmas in July Blog Hop hosted by The Crochet Village, so the design can be used as a Garland, a Table Runner, or anything you would like to bring the Christmas Holiday into your home.

I used Red Heart Soft Yarn, which makes the scarf soft and squishy.

You can customize the scarf to fit just about anyone and would be a great scrap busting project.
