Springtime Puffed Shells Crochet Scarf
The Springtime Puffed Shells Crochet Scarf has stitching done in three rows for each color with a long stitch to make the puffed shells. Lovely Orchid and Aran colors are used to give a little brightness to your day. To complete the crochet scarf there is a small scallop edging on the top and bottom; without this edging the pattern just wouldn't be the same.
