This is a beautiful Thick Textured Scarf that I want to make. I just need to know where to find the yarn? After reading the pattern I think the repeat shell stitches will make for a long warm scarf. This is a must make scarf! Anyone know where I can find the yarn or is there another that can be used and still have the beautifulness of this one? Thank you for sharing this free crochet pattern.

This scarf is truly beautiful. I have made this exact pattern using the Caron Jewel Box Tiger eye and am working on a second one. This is very easy pattern, especially for beginners. The only problem is the instructions...Row 2 if worked the way it is written you will end up with 8 shell instead of 7 like the pattern suggest. The problem is( across to within last shell, skip next 2 dc, shell in last sc (7 shells),)this will create 8 shells. What I found worked was to end row 2 like row 1(across to within last ch, sc in last ch (7 shells), turn.) This will create a nice straight edge and 7 shells across.
