The free granny stripe scarf pattern is quick and easy, using a variation of the granny stripe stitch. Using aran or worsted weight yarn and a 6.0mm/J hook, it works up so quickly and is warm and cozy without being too thick and heavy.
This pattern is perfect for experienced beginners looking for a new stitch variation to try, or experienced crocheters after a pretty scarf that will fly off the hook.
This stitch looks amazing in stripes, blocks or single colours, so would be a perfect stashbusting project to use up your yarn scraps.
