Quick, Easy to Crochet Gift

I found this free scarf pattern in one of my crochet groups and didn't want to lose it, so I'm posting it here, which is great, because maybe you can use it to make a few Christmas gifts this year. This gift would be well received! Of course that is if you crochet. If not, I've got other blog posts that may help you out too!

I cannot share the pattern itself on my blog... that is the rules in this case, but here are the photos and a list of what would be needed, etc. to get you started, then just click on one of the photos below and you will have that pattern right in front of you.  Have fun!

Free Crochet Pattern ~ Fiona Button Scarf !



The Fiona Button Scarf is a lovely piece for both fall and winter and is crocheted lengthwise in a slightly modified granny stripe. Two buttons join it together to create a long loop like an infinity scarf, or wear it unbuttoned for a traditional scarf. Versatile and pretty, lofty and warm! No need to crochet button holes either, just use the decorative holes from the scarf.
