Can you believe it, but spring is on its way and now is time to start thinking about spring and summer projects?! ;o) I’m so ready for spring and my very first pattern for this year is for Spring Fling crocheted scarf. This lightweight crocheted scarf is a super spring accessory and can provide a bit of warmth for the days when it is a little chilly as well as providing some additional color and texture to outfits. Such a fun project, which takes just a couple hours and can be made in any plain or multicolored yarn. A perfect gift idea too!
