Leprechaun Legs Scarf

"I have been meaning to make a Leprechaun scarf for St. Patrick’s Day and I finally got the chance to do it. It works up quickly so if you are ever in need of a last-minute St. Patrick’s Day crochet project, this is it! This scarf pattern is written for an adult-size scarf meant to fit most adults. The length can be adjusted by adding or subtracting rows to/from the body of the scarf. Size H/8/5.00mm hook Worsted weight (4) yarn in Dark Green Worsted weight (4) yarn in White Worsted weight (4) yarn in Lighter Green Worsted weight (4) yarn in Gold"

NotesThe yarn is cut after each color change for the striped (leg) section of the scarf. When you cut the yarn after changing color, leave a long enough tail to weave in the ends as you work.

You can lengthen or shorten the scarf as needed by adding or deleting rows from the darker green (pants) section and/or the striped (leg) sections. Make sure to have an odd number of rows for the darker green (pants) section.
