(scarf crocheted by Nancy McKain)
I used Red Heart Comfort when I made my scarf. It was left over from a blanket I made. It's a nice yarn, but not as soft as I would like. It does soften a bit after washing. For making scarves to donate.... it's a great yarn at a decent price.
Once you have done the repeat a few times you will be off and running. It's a fairly quick pattern with a fun texture.
