Double V Shell Scarf with Scalloped Edges
11/1/2010 by Christina M. Lee
Skill Level:
Intermediate: (If using Homespun, because it is a bulky yarn and hard to crochet with, I do not recommend beginners use this yarn.)
Easy: (If using any 4 ply worst weight yarn, see suggestions below).
Gage: Not important
Materials:
Lion Brand Homespun Yarn 2 Skeins, color of your choice
(Or for a not so bulky look use any 4 ply worsted weight (non-bulky) yarn, color of choice and a H hook. Ideal yarns would be Vanna’s Choice, Caron Simply Soft, I Love This Yarn, Red Heart Super Saver, Red Heart Soft, or Loops and Threads.)

Here are some other scarves I have made with this pattern:
These two were for granddaughters Allyson and KC. Christmas Presents.
A Friend, Jessica’s scarf, a gift.
Scarf for my best friend, Linda, for her birthday.
I just love how some of the homespun yarn changes shades as you crochet.
Another shot of Linda’s scarf, the chain fringe. I have now made 10 of these scarves for gifts.
