Crocheted scarves will keep you warm and fashionable.  They also make quick, easy and inexpensive gifts.  Buy a pair of gloves in a coordinating color or add a hat (several scarf patterns have a matching hat).  Hook the scarf in red and green for last minute holiday gifts.

These crochet scarf patterns suggest a variety of yarns.  Most require a worsted weight or bulkier yarn.  Affordable bulky weight yarns can be found at major craft stores such as Michaels and big box stores such as Wal-Mart.   Some to look for are Lion Brand Wool Ease or Bernat Brand Softee.  More luxurious yarns are available at local yarn stores and online retailers such as WEBS or Knit Picks.
