This scarf was created for the Cal Crochet A Long Design-a-Scarf Challenge 2022. Being from the UK a scarf to me is something akin to Dr Who so I took the challenge literally. This year has seen an explosion in crochet across the fashion world, particularly the humble but wonderful granny square. I love granny stitch, it’s what my gran used to do to make new cushion covers with her left over 4ply jumper yarns. I knew straight away it had to be granny stitch so I’ve kept it simple and let the yarn do the talking.

Difficulty
