Ripple Crochet Scarf




It's been a while since a Klose Knit blog post, so we thought we'd break the silence to share this wonderful crochet scarf pattern with you! Crochet is the hot thing this summer, and we're really excited to have some new patterns in the shop. This one was written by our own Edda, and once again she has done great work!

  1. Hi! I just saw this and am anxious to try it! I am wondering about what kind of yarn to purchase. I am not sure what a sock weight yarn is - would it be marked a '3' on the label. Most of what I've worked with has been a 4 worsted weight. Any ideas of brands, etc, that would work with this would be most appreciated! Thank you!
