CROCHET SCARF
Hook size J/10-6.00mm
Yarn is Med. size 4 from Vanna’s Choice collection and it’s 100% Acrylic.
Finished Size – The finished size of this scarf with this pattern was 49″ long and 4″ wide by the time I was done. Remember, a project can lose length as you crochet.
Gauge – regarding the gauge, I noticed that for this project 10 DC = 4″(10cm).
Abbreviations
Ch = chain
YO = yarn over
DC = double crochet
TN = tapestry needle
The Pattern
Start by chaining as long as you need to. Once you have reached the desired length in the starting chain, do a DC on the 4th ch loop from the hook. After the DC is done, skip one ch and do a DC on the next ch. Follow this pattern till you reach the end. It should look like a ladder.***If you reach the end and there is an odd chain left, do a DC on it***
Then ch 4, turn your project, and do a DC around the Ch, not on the loop of the Ch but around the Ch, so in other words you are YO, going under the Ch, YO again and complete the steps of finishing the DC.
Now, follow suit of a DC on every chain, don’t skip any chains. Once you reach the end (and remember not to leave any chains left) ch 4 and turn project. Repeat entire process until you reach the width of the scarf that you want to reach. Remember, we are working on the width not the length, that was determined at the beginning.
When your desired length is reached, use a TN to weave in the string from the beginning chain and the one left at the end after you make your closing knot.
