Easy Puffy Scarf

 

By sewcrochet4fun

 

This scarf is very versatile as it can be made in almost any yarn and with almost any hook to get your desired look. Expand/widen the width and you end up with a stole or shawl!! Expand the width and shorten the length, use rug yarn, and you get an area rug....have fun with this!!
