I have a soft spot for scarves because they are one of those projects that feel both practical and totally adorable.
There is something so satisfying about turning a simple skein of yarn into a piece I can actually wear with my favorite outfits.
If you’re into quick makes that still look impressive, crochet scarves are such a fun way to play with texture, color, and cute little details.
