Linked Crochet Scarf With Pom Pom Edging

The Linked Double Crochet stitch is a lovely stitch that adds bulk and volume to the finished project. This stitch is usually made by inserting your hook into the middle of the post. This little trick works magic and you end up with a seamless solid project. You very well don't get the gaps you get with the standard Double Crochet stitches. Its a customizable stitch pattern which can be altered to your liking by changing the starting number of stitches.

Today am sharing the pattern for Linked Crochet Scarf With Pom Pom Edging. I made this pattern as a part of the 2024 Christmas in July Make Along with Marie at Underground Crafter. This is a easy and simple scarf pattern with Pom Pom edging. The Pom Pom edging adds a lovely outcome.
