Hero Scarf Free Crochet Pattern
/The Hero Scarf Free Crochet Pattern is one of those special patterns where both the stitch-work and the yarn shine bright. It features a fun repeat and is great for that special yarn you’ve been holding onto!
The Hero Scarf Free Crochet Pattern is really special because you can even make more of a wrap than a scarf if you like. Just keep going in the pattern repeat rows before the finishing Row. You will likely need more yarn so be sure to plan ahead so you order the same dye lot.
I chose WeCrochet Chroma Worsted for the Hero Scarf Free Crochet Pattern because it has a wonderful color change element that lends itself perfectly to this pattern. In fact, the WeCrochet Chroma Worsted almost gives the illusion of stripes and you never have to change yarn!
You gotta love when the yarn does the heavy lifting and you can just get in the zone and stitch away!

Add fringe to ends!
You can add more fringe if you like, but here is how to achieve the look shown in the sample:
