Free Pattern – Avondale Scarf

A little bit casual and a little bit quirky, the Avondale Scarf could easily become your go-to accessory for the season! The bold stripes in neutral colors have a unisex appeal that’s great for work or weekend wear. Add in the herringbone texture, with its slightly zigzag edge, and you have a piece that’s as much fun to make as it is to wear!

The sample is shown in Vanna’s Choice yarn, which I originally received for free from Lion Brand for another project. The colors are 118 Midnight Blue (A), 123 Beige (B), and 124 Toffee (C).
