Larksfoot scarf

This is a free crochet pattern for a scarf, adapted from bynumber19.

The Larksfoot stitch is a very common crochet stitch pattern. I found it in one of my stitch guide books and decided to make a scarf with it. The scarf is crocheted with 2 different yarn types: A tweed yarn and a mohair yarn. The more rigid tweed makes the pattern stay in place and the mohair yarn gives the scarf a very comfy and soft appearance.
