Spearmint Sooper Scarf
Designed by Lisa Gonzalez Skill Level: Easy If you are feint of heart, turn away, turn away, I say. When I say "sooper," I mean it! This minty themed zigzag scarf is long enough to wrap around you three or four times - approximately 98". It seems extreme because it is. It is fresh and fun to crochet and, since it is long enough to keep you AND your cutie warm simultaneously, is more energy efficient than the average, not-so-sooper scarf.
