Night Skies Scarf

This Night Skies Scarf is open, and lacy in design. The sparkle of the silver metallic thread gives it the appearance of night skies as the light hits it. It will look great as an accent to a casual outfit or dress up an outfit for a night out.  Make one to give as a special gift for a family member or friend, give one to your favorite charity, or just for yourself. Enjoy!

Pattern Notes

• Weigh your yarn cake: ________ grams
• Because I am a tight crocheter I used the I crochet hook to chain with, so the chain isn’t too tight. This will also keep it from buckling. If you crochet loosely then you really shouldn’t have to go up a hook size when chaining. Rule of thumb always check your gauge.
