Easy/Intermediate

Materials Needed:
Scarf:
9mm hook
yarn needle with a large eye for weaving yarn through scarf
scissors
100-125 yards #3 light weight yarn
50 yards #5 chunky yarn. Note: You can choose to go with one colorway, or use multiple chunky or worsted weight yarns--the more you have woven through, the more luxurious and unique your scarf will look.

Additional suggested yarns (approx. 25 yards needed):
-Fun fur/Foxy (I used Red Heart Foxy in “Aquarium”. I believe this line is discontinued, but you may find some on etsy or eBay)
-A different #5 chunky yarn (I used Yarn Bee Tender Touch in “Amber”) Note: Again, this is only a suggestion, you can use any kind of yarn, chunky, worsted, dk, and as much of it as will fit through the spaces.
-A fun speckled, metallic strand, or otherwise interesting worsted weight yarn
-Leftover bits of ribbon, lace, or fabric scraps if you have those laying around
