The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Scarf

Just because it’s hot out doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear scarves! Plus, I always need to give myself a reason to crochet! I used cotton yarn for this scarf since it is breathable which is perfect for the warmer months!

Even if you don’t want to make this for summer you could use some thicker yarn like Lion Brand WET&Q or Vanna’s Choice to make a warmer scarf for the colder seasons.
