The Birds of a Feather Scarf is made using the “Birds of a Feather” Crochet stitch. This is a 2 tone crochet scarf. This stitch really allows for color play because the Birds of a Feather stitch bleeds into the previous row. This scarf is crocheted the length way. Meaning in a long chain and you work it in long rows.

With this pattern you can make anything straight with this stitch. Like an afghan or even a rug. I made a rug for my room check it out 😀
