Featured in this scarf design are the Vanna’s Choice yarn colors in Linen, Dusty Blue and Chocolate.

I designed the granny scarf in blocks of color because I love to crochet projects with a color-blocked style. If the combination of colors is too much, then I would suggest you crochet this in just one color for a classic, and simple look!

Adding the fringe is simple! Check out my step-by-step tutorial on how to add fringe to crochet patterns and projects! It’s easy. I promise!

I added 8 fringe pieces (3 pieces of cut yarn each in Linen) evenly across the bottom of each end of the scarf with a crochet hook and should look something like pictured below.
