Cranberry Twist Scarf Pattern with Pom-Poms

"I love beautiful things, but I also love a crochet project that is quick and easy to make, and that is exactly what this scarf is! It is soft and warm with plenty of gorgeous drape, and would be a perfect accessory to wear on a winter date night (Valentines is just around the corner, ladies)! The pattern gets it's name from the color I used as well as the "twisting" motion of the design.  You'll need to know the basics--chain, slip stitch, single crochet and double crochet to crochet this scarf, which means even someone who is a beginner should get the hang of this pattern fairly quickly. I've made mine using Caron Simply Soft in a rich Autumn Red, but you are welcome to use any color of yarn you wish."

NotesYou can make this scarf as wide or narrow as you’d like, based on how many row repeats you do. I've also included instructions for making it longer or shorter.
