If you are a beginner and love to make a special scarf for Boys, then this design is created for you. It is easy to make but turns out so great 😍.
Yarn:
I used a local brand Fine (Sport) weight 100% acrylic yarn for this project, it is easy to wash by the washing machine ( Easy-washing is an important criteria when making things for children, you know 😆). But cotton-acrylic yarn is also perfect for this pattern.
I will give you some suggestions to find the suitable yarn for this project:
Acrylic Yarn:
– Lion Brand Beautiful You Yarn
– WeCrochet Acrylic Yarn
– Ice Yarns Softy Baby
Cotton-Acrylic Yarn:
Alize Cotton Gold
Hook:
For this design, I use a Tulip 4 mm crochet hook. But you can alternate it by using 3.5, 3.75, 4.5 based on your crochet tension. You can choose any hook that fits with you and the yarn you are using as the Gauge is not much important for the scarf project.😉
