FREE - Suzi Cuzi Scarf
Scarves…can we have too many? In my opinion, no! I like scarves for two reasons. The first is that they are extremely functional. I am one of those people that likes their neck covered in cold weather. If my neck is warm, I am warm, so I am always grabbing one before heading out the door. The second reason is that I find them very fashionable. I use mine like jewelry to zhuzh up my outfits. They can be the finishing touch for any cold wardrobe to pull the look together.
The Suzi Cuzi Scarf is an easy and quick project. It is very beginner friendly and just the thing for advanced crocheters to pick up when they need a break from more complex projects. Sometimes I need something simple to give my design brain a rest and just enjoy the crochet process. This is one of those projects. it is a repetitive stitch sequence that requires no tedious counting, and the length can be easily adjusted to suit your personal preference. I like a double wrap, so mine is extra long.

The suzette stitch is a combination of basic crochet stitches that create a rich texture fabric. It doesn’t require any tedious counting which makes it enjoyable to crochet. The following explains how to crochet the suzette stitch:

FINISHING DETAIL
The ends of the scarf don’t require any additional finishing embellishments unless you prefer. I am a fan of fringe and often use it to finish off my scarves. I used it for my version of this pattern.
How to Make Fringe
– cut 48 lengths of yarn 12″ (30.4 cm) long.
– Use 2 strands of yarn for each fringe (12 fringe per end).
– Fold 2 strands in half to form a loop. Use crochet hook to pull loop through stitch along the end of the scarf. Pull the ends of the strands through the loop and pull tight. Space fringe groupings evenly across each end of the scarf.
