✨ The Story Behind Your Next Cozy Make

Picture a crisp morning where the world feels quiet, and all you want is something soft and familiar wrapped around your neck. The Hearthbound Scarf is that feeling in crochet form — a simple, soothing project that builds slowly from tip to tip in warm, grounding color blocks. If you can double crochet, you’re already set! This beginner-friendly scarf uses three skeins of Katia Light Alpaca Merino, a lightweight blend that brings ALL of the drape with a gentle alpaca halo. The long, tapered shape creates an easy-to-style layer that you can loop, wrap, or toss over a coat for instant comfort. And if you love to play with color, swap in your own trio — bold, neutral, or somewhere in between — for a look that’s uniquely yours.
