Dakotah’s Fabulous Scarf!

The stitching may look familiar because you recognize it from DJ’s Beanie! I thought if you made the wonderful hat for your guy, how fitting it would be to sport a matching scarf! (If you made the hat in “girly” colors, well you’d be set wouldn’t ya?  Dakotah’s Fabulous scarf once again incorporates the unique stitch of crocheting in the “3rd” loop of the half-double crochet stitch. Don’t worry if you’ve never done it before because I created a tutorial for you!
