White popcorn scarf

I really love this scarf. I finished it about three weeks ago and I'm very happy with how it came out! I've decided that the popcorn stitch is my favorite. It's incredibly easy, but makes for such a cool textural effect. My only complaint is that it eats up yarn pretty quickly, but I can overlook that for the payoff. This is two rows of double crochet followed by one row of popcorn stitch.

The yarn is, once again, from good ol' Red Heart Super Saver. This is just their plain white. I much prefer a cream or aran color to what I've dubbed "computer paper white", but the yarn section at my local Michael's is woefully small and doesn't carry that color of Super Saver.

This scarf measures in at an approximate 77 inches in length (not including the fringe) and 4 1/2 inches in width. I personally prefer a longer, skinnier scarf like this to something more short and stout. (It's probably because I'm short and stout, and a long scarf creates the illusion that I'm longer, too!)

I did attempt to add some fringe to the ends. I didn't measure, but I'd estimate that the fringe is approximately 3 inches long. I'm not thrilled about the way this turned out. I still haven't found a good way to do it. Just looping the pieces of yarn through doesn't feel secure enough, but tying them makes them stick out at funny angles. Oh, well. Just another thing that will require some trial and error.

I was debating on whether or not I wanted to keep this for myself, but decided that I would include it in my next box of donations to Warm Up America. Click the link to learn more about how you can donate crocheted goods to people in need.
