Faux Crochet Scarves

This is my favorite beginner pattern, because it is "faux crocheting" and requires no actual crocheting knowledge. I was able to make one of these scarves in about half an hour. This lovely Sashay yarn makes it look like this was a much more complicated project. I have heard of these selling between $15-25. The yarn costs about $5 a skein, and comes in a variety of colors. There are several different brands and types out there, but the Red Heart Boutique Sashay Yarn has been my favorite to work with. I found the pattern on YouTube after being frustrated with the original instructions because the pattern seemed too complicated and time-consuming for me. These have made wonderful presents, and I hope everyone gives these a try!
