Ribbed Scarf With Angel Hair Yarn

Use different crochet stitches to make a ribbed scarf.

A soft, warm scarf crocheted out of angel hair yarn and paired with a warm coat can help you ward off cold winds during the winter. Angel hair yarn is made from wool, nylon and acrylic, meaning it will keep your neck very comfortable while you are outside. As you crochet each row, achieve a ribbed look by slipping the crochet hook into the back loops of each stitch. To make this item, you should be able to complete single crochet, half-double crochet and double crochet stitches, and join a second ball of yarn when the first ball runs out.
