Brightly Colored Rainbow Scarf Pattern

July 20, 2015 by Mary Vaughn Leave a Comment

This free crochet scarf pattern is super fun and is great for beginners as well as experienced crocheters. Young children and the young at heart will have fun crocheting this cheerful scarf, and won’t be able to help but to be happy when wearing it.  This crochet scarf pattern is easy, and once you have the two row repeat down, you’ll be able to fly through the length of it and you’ll have a finished product in no time.  If you are a beginner, learn how to crochet with multiple colors with this pattern.  This is a great scarf pattern for kids because if they accidentally lose it in the snow on the playground, they’ll be able to spot it quickly.
