Flat crochet cables form leaves that stack into beautiful, rhythmic lines, creating the little crocheted Vija Scarf.
A one-skein project, it’s small enough to make relatively quickly, yet interesting enough to keep you engaged – and perhaps teach you a new technique along the way. The result is a small but striking accessory, ready for crisp mornings, layered outfits and, very likely, a few compliments.
