Crochet scarf fastened with buttons into a cowl

Scarf versatility: The convertible crochet scarf and infinity scarf

The convertible crochet scarf came to be because I couldn’t make up my mind whether to make a scarf or a cowl. This scarf is both! You can wear this scarf long or like an infinity scarf by fastening buttons to puff stitch flower buttonholes. Made with Lion Brand Shawl in a Ball yarn, the scarf has lacy, drapey cable-like tall crochet stitches. The chunky puff stitch flowers in Lion Brand Hometown USA offer a nice texture contrast to the rest of the scarf. Wrap it around twice and button the flowers and you have a cozy cowl.

Puffed Waves Crochet Scarf: Free crochet pattern

This puffed waves crochet scarf ticks all my boxes for a perfect crochet project. I love projects you can complete sooner rather than later. Projects with easily memorizable pattern repeats make Netflix + crochet way easier. A stitch pattern that shows off swoon-worthy colors of my yarn? Yes, please! As I’ve mentioned before, crocheting scarves (and more scarves) is the best. Scarves allow you to try things out without a huge commitment AND you get a finished object out of the deal. Further, you don’t have to figure out increases and decreases like you do with a hat. When my sister gave me some Red Heart Unforgettable, I dove into showing off its gorgeous color changes with the puffed waves crochet scarf.
