Free Pattern: Sports Team Scarf 2

Shorter scarves like Sports Team Scarf 1 might be in fashion right now, but if you're looking for a longer pattern, try this one. Make one to cheer for your team, or just use your favorite colors instead.
Don't let the post stitches scare you if you don't know them. If you can double crochet, you can create a front or back post dc. I love this video on youtube for learning the stitches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYJs42RUfuc
