Snow Bound Scarf-Free Crochet Pattern - The Purple Poncho (2024)

The Snow Bound Scarf is a wonderful scarf to wrap around you to keep warm while heading out in the snow. This has optional pockets to keep your hands warm too. Made in Tunisian crochet stitches with several stitch videos to guide you through.

Easy to customize the size by adjusting your starting chain for the width, or amount of rows for the length.

I used Red Heart Gemstone yarn for this square in color Diamond. You can use any colors you like, or make one in a solid color.

I’m so excited to be part of theScarf of the Month CAL with Ooombawka Design Crochet and The Stitchin’ Mommy!

I really enjoy making Tunisian crochet fabric. You gather up your stitches on your hook, and then crochet them off to complete one row.
