Free Crochet Scarf Pattern: Eccentric Tie Scarf

Eccentric Tie Scarf is a super quick, super thick and super easy crochet scarf pattern to make in one day! With this pattern you’ll be able to create an item so unique, that everybody will ask where you’ve got it!

The scarf is light (though made of #6 super bulky weight yarn), because there`s no need to wrap it around your neck several times. Still, it will keep you warm and all snugly. Thanks to the practical fastener, it’s so versatile and can be worn in many different ways and different combinations.

Just pull your scarf through the fastener (which you can make in any of the matching colors and embellish with a button) and you`ll have a versatile, eye catching item for many occasions. You can add fringe or leave it without.

This crochet scarf is great stash buster, because it can be made with two strands of #4 worsted (or actually any of your favorite) yarn held together.

You can match it up with the Eccentric Beanie and you`re ready to go!

It`s a great last-minute gift for your mother, sister or a friend, the kind of gift they would enjoy wearing.
