If this Grinch Inspired corner-to-corner scarf isnʼt the most perfect rendition
Iʼve seen, I donʼt know what is! Use the classic C2C method to crochet a scarf,
then embellish with yellow eyes, black eyebrows, and a crooked little smile. I
love it!
Grinch Inspired C2C Scarf
Corner to Corner crochet is not a new technique. Weʼve used it to create many
a graphghan, baby blanket, pillow covers, and more! There are many Grinch
inspired scarf patterns, but this one, specifically the eyes, eyebrows, nose,
and mouth, was designed by a guest designer, Jill with Happy Heart Hats. She
has graciously written up this pattern after having posted her finished scarf a
while back in the Heart Hook Home Crochet Community. Everyone loved it so
much! Thank you for sharing your talent, Jill! You can find the printable
version of this pattern on the Happy Heart Hats Ravelry page.
