This is a luxurious scarf with beautiful colors!

And yes, just one skein for a scarf that’s six-and-a-half-feet long! It’s a perfect addition to your fall and winter accessories and a wonderful gift, too. You’ll have results quickly as it uses only two basic stitches — single crochet and double crochet. No color changes, either as the key is the choice of yarn.

It’s a free pattern, too! It’s the “Mountain Land Scarf” by famed crochet designer Kathy Lashley of ELK Studio. You’ll find the complete written pattern that will guide you to success from start to finish.

She also gives you the rundown on the type of yarn that gets that beautiful multi-shade effect — it’s the popular Barcelona Yarn by Loops & Threads available at Michaels. It comes is a variety of beautiful shades which you can get at Michaels, both online and in your local brick-and-mortar store.

Yes, of course, there’s a risk checking out the website or the store, as you may wind up with a bundle of yarn that could make countless scarves — for yourself and your gift-list recipients. And along with all that maybe those tempting styles and colors of yarn marked down on sale for which you think, ah, yes, somewhere there’s a project…. Yes, that’s how it goes with yarn shopping isn’t it?!

As noted, the pattern uses single and double crochet stitches; be sure to check out the YouTube tutorial videos — right hand and left hand below — if you’d like some guidance or a quick refresher!
