Wispy Puff Scarf
The wispy puff scarf is an ethereal and feminine, little cloud that will breeze right into your wardrobe. Thankfully, this crochet scarf is truly a beginner level project. I love designing things that are simple enough to work on while also listening to a book, or watching Netflix!
One thing I did a lot as a beginner, was buy one skein of very nice yarn. It was odd that I kept doing it because I quickly realized that it was a very bad idea. No plan in mind, and I didn't really consider the type of yardage I'd need to make...anything.
After much too long of that, I realized that I should start designing patterns for single skeins of the good stuff. The $25 a skein spendy ish. I can't be the only one with a bunch of beautiful single skeins laying around, right?
To make this scarf, we'll use one 50 gram skein of lace weight mohair yarn. I purchased my yarn from one of my local yarn stores, Fancy Tiger Crafts. They're based out of Denver. I love this crafting store because they've got yarn, notions, and a lot of fabric! They've been my go-to during Covid. Finally, it's so important to support your local businesses during this time. I feel fortunate that they've got such beautiful fabric and yarn.
The yarn I used is Berry Mohair by Woolberry in the colorway "Fields of Lavender". And isn't she dreamy? This yarn is 72% mohair and 28% silk. Mohair is kind of magical. It doesn't really look like much until you start to work it up. The silk and mohair combo of this particular yarn helps to create a beautiful drape.

Hi, Louise! This pattern begins with a magic circle which creates a lovely pointed end. I edited the pattern to make this more clear. Happy crocheting!
