Simple Scarf - Crochet Pattern

Simple Crochet Scarf This is a simple crochet scarf.

This confused me greatly as my experienced friends also gave conflicting information when teaching me to crochet.

Drops Scarf Knit Pattern

Simple pattern for even beginner knitters. It wouldn't be your very first project but could be when you are ready to learn about dropping yarn overs. It is that easy.
