Crafty Diversions: Mermaid

Mermaid

by Anne Kuo Lukito

Designed to resemble a mermaid’s tail, this unique neck warmer features simple cables that form elegant scalloped edges, and flared ends with a drop-stitch detail. Because it is made with a bulky yarn, this mini scarf will make a quick knit and great last-minute gift for yourself or anyone else!

The pattern includes bonus instructions for customizing the scarfette to a full-sized scarf.
