Welcome back to the 2018 Scarf of the Month Club!

I had a little bit of a rough start but I am glad to finally be able to share this month’s scarf pattern with you! First off, we have a gorgeous blue cowl from Rhondda and a beautiful raspberry-themed scarf from our guest contributor Kim Guzman! My pattern contribution is a light and lacy cowl that I made using gorgeous yarn from Expression Fiber Arts. The pattern also has beautiful picots that I really think you will like. Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for my Diamond Picot Lace Cowl. I hope you enjoy it! Happy Crocheting!

Join us for the April 2018 scarf patterns!

Back by popular demand, Rhondda and I are hosting the Scarf of the Month Club CAL in 2018. We will each have a new free scarf/cowl/neckwarmer pattern on our blogs each month, for 12 months! Plus, we will have 12 amazing designers that will be joining us and will each be contributing a new free crochet scarf pattern as well!
