Crochet Skinny Shell Scarf {free crochet pattern}

Just because the weather is warmer doesn't mean we have to ditch our scarves! I love wearing scarves as they can instantly add pizazz to an otherwise boring ensemble. So, I love this crochet skinny scarf to wear in the spring and summer and liken it to a crocheted necklace of sorts.
My Merry Messy Life: Crochet Skinny Shell Scarf - Free Pattern!

I based this scarf off patterns from JoAnne's and Creative Jewish Mom, but had to change the pattern quite a bit with the yarn I used and because I changed colors three times. You know me – I like bold, bright colors, so the colors in this scarf might be a be much for your mom. Just scale it down to what works for you. It's such a cute and unique accessory!
