The Puff V-Stitch
This is one of my absolute favor patterns. There are so many ways to wear the V-puff stitch scarf. And that is exactly why I like to call this the “Magic Scarf”

So many ways to wear it.
You are able to wear it as an infinity scarf, hood, poncho, or wrap. The possibilities are endless. What makes this scarf so versatile is the draw string that goes on the top and bottom of the scarf. Just by pulling the drawstring a certain way creates a whole new look.
Yarn
Red Heart has gotten a bad rap over the years, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the good old faithful skein. They always seam to have all the best colors. For those who think Red Heart yarn is not soft enough, has yet to try Red Heart with Love. This yarn has turned the average nay sayer into a YAY!
The first time I used this, I was SHOCKED at the softness of it. So I knew it would go great with the Magic scarf. You don’t want anything scratchy around your neck and face
The price was even better. I’m a thrifty yarn hoarder and don’t want to spend a fortune on my crochet addiction. I forgot to add the skein is pretty big, 370 yards!
