Ridged Multicolor Men's Scarf
Let's face it. There just aren't enough men's scarf patterns out there that are anything different than what you can buy at a department store. This Ridged Multicolor Men's Scarf gives the boys something both impressive and masculine for winter. Its ridged pattern allows for two different colors on separate planes. This particular project allows for both a men's and a boys' version, the boys' having a third, brighter color laced in the gray and black. These easy scarf patterns will have all of your boys taken care of for the winter.
