Lacy Geranium Scarflet

Personally, I love lace and I don't think there's a more cheerful color than red. Why not combine the two?
This is a pretty and easy scarflet to make, especially for gift-giving and charity projects. It will make anyone you give to feel special because of the lovely lace edges.

Materials-
Red Heart worsted weight yarn Cherry Red (1 skein)
Crochet hook size H
Blunt needle to weave in tails
Scissors

Note- Remember that your lace edges must be as wide as your scarflet section, so do not crochet too tightly when you make the edges!
