Customable Patchwork Scarf

I created this scarf with my beginner students in mind. It's a very simple pattern consisting of joining "patches" of single and double crochet into strips and embellish any way that you want! So I think this makes for a great first project if you've just learned how to crochet. I made all of my “patches” all in one color, but I think that it would be cute in multiple colours too. I also added some top stitching just for fun and to add a bit of colour. I think that it would make a wonderful “stash buster” also! Rating: Easy/Beginner Materials List ~Worsted weight yarn – approx. 8 oz – (anywhere from 1 to 32 colors, if you wish. This is a great “stash-buster” project if you do each patch in a different color) ~Size H/5.00mm hook, or as needed for gauge ~Tapestry needle Optional: Pins to hold strips together for seaming, additional yarn, any weight or embroidery floss for embellishments in contrasting colors, any other embellishments as desired
