The "All Together" Scarf

 

Stitches used-

Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc)

Double Crochet (dc)

Double Crochet Together (DCT) – Yarn over, insert hook into first stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through two loops. Two loops remain on hook. Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through remaining 3 loops.

DCTwS (Double crochet together with skip)- when working the DCT, the first part of the stitch will be worked into the stitch closest to the hook, then a stitch will be skipped, and the rest of the DCT will be worked into the stitch after the skipped stitch.

Hook- 7mm crochet hook

Yarn- (4) skeins of Queensland Collection Leche 50 g/109 yards. This yarn is a blend of merino wool, microfiber, milk protein, and silk. To get a similar effect in a readily available yarn, I think Caron Simply Soft would be a good substitute.

Finished scarf measurement- 8 inches x 72 inches

Ch 27

R1) In fourth ch from hook, work 1 dc. *Ch 1, then work 1 DCTwS, starting in same stitch as where previous dc was worked.* Repeat between *’s 10 more times. Ch 1, then work DCT in same stitch and last stitch. Ch 2, turn.

R2) Work 1 dc in ch 1 space. *Ch 1, then work DCT in same chain space and next chain space.* Repeat between *’s 10 more times. Ch 1, then work DCT in same ch 1 space and top of turning chain. Ch 1, turn.

R3) Sc in top of each DCT and each ch 1 space across. (25 stitches) Ch 2 turn.

R4) Dc in second sc from hook. *Ch 1, then work 1 DCTwS, starting in same stitch as where previous dc was worked.* Repeat between *’s 10 more times. Ch 1, then work DCT in same stitch and last stitch. Ch 2, turn.

Repeat rows 2 – 4 until scarf reaches desired length, ending with row 2.

For a little more structure at the ends of your scarf, you could begin with a row of sc, then work rows 4, 2, and 3 in that order, ending with row 3. If you start that way, adjust your starting chain to 26, work sc in second chain from hook and each ch across for a total of 25 sc. Ch 2, turn.

Bright Shells Scarf

I've got another easy scarf pattern that doesn't use a lot of yarn.  This was one of my favorite scarves to work up.  Once I got going, it was a stitch that I could work without thinking too much about it.  It made a nice somewhat dense texture that was still very soft.

Materials:  4 oz. worsted weight yarn.
My yarn that I used.

Is that not one groovy looking yarn label?

Hook:  H/8 5mm


Ch 32.
R1.  Sc in second ch from hook.  *Skip 2 chains, 5 dc in next chain.  Skip 2 chains, sc in next chain.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row.  Ch 5 and turn.

R2.  *Sc in 3'rd dc.  Ch 2, dc in sc, ch 2.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row.  Ch 1 and turn.

R3.  Sc in 1'st dc.  *5 dc in sc, sc in dc.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row, ending with sc in turning ch.  Ch 5 and turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until desired length ending with R2.

Sparkly Green Scarf

I buy a lot of my yarn from thrift stores, sale bins, etc, and somehow I've managed to acquire quite the stock pile of mismatched random skeins of yarn that just aren't quite big enough for a lot of the patterns that I like.  So, I decided to mess around with some different stitches and come up with some scarves that used small single skeins.  And this is what happened.

Materials:  (1) 4 oz. skein worsted weight yarn.  Mine was a vintage skein of green labeled Sparkle-Glow...and not a lot more was printed on the label.

Hook:  H/8 5.00mm

Chain 30.

R1.  Dc in 5'th ch from hook and in next ch.  *Ch 4, skip 2 ch and sc in next ch.  Ch 4, skip 2 ch and dc in next 3 ch.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row.  Ch 3 and turn.

R2.  Skip 1'st dc and dc in next 2 dc.  *Ch 2 and dc in ch 4 (from previous row), skip sc and dc in next ch 4.  Ch 2, then dc in next 3 dc.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row.  Ch 3 and turn.

R3.  Skip 1'st dc and dc in next 2 dc.  *Ch 4, skip ch 2 (from previous row), sc between the 2 dc (from previous row).  Ch 4, then dc in next 3 dc.*  Repeat between *'s to end of row.  Ch 3 and turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until scarf measures 60" long (or you run out of yarn), ending with row 2.

I did not plan on adding the fringe until I was close to the end of my skein and found one of those annoying knot places where the factory joined the yarn.  I didn't really want to do a join that close to the end of the scarf so I decided to quit crocheting and add the fringe instead.  For instructions on how to do the fringe go to pretty pink flowers scarf.

Fancy Granny Scarf

I found this lovely scarf and decided I wanted to try and make my own.  And this is what I came up with.

 A little different but still (in my opinion, lol) very pretty.

The Squares.
The first step was to find a pattern for a granny square that I liked.  The original pattern was for a blanket but I am using it for my scarf. 
 I used hook H/8-5mm and some Red Heart Super Soft yarn.  (I'm guessing I used about 7 oz.  I don't know the exact amount since I was working with a skein that I had already used yarn out of.  I also definitely recommend using a soft yarn for this project.)  The pattern for the square said that it would make a 7"x7" square but mine ended up being only 6"x6".  Since I was going for a scarf that measured at least 60" that meant I needed 10 squares.  If your squares are bigger you can adjust how many you will need.
You can find the square pattern here- Get pattern here.

Joining the Squares.
Once you have your squares made you will need to join them.  I joined mine by putting 2 squares wrong sides together and inserting hook front to back through inside loop of top square and back to front through inside loop of bottom square.  Yarn over and draw through all three loops on hook. At the corners I worked one joining stitch in each chain 3.  If this makes no sense feel free to use whatever joining method you prefer.

The Border.
For round one work 1 sc in every stitch.  At each join work 1 sc in chain 3 space, 1 sc in join stitch, and 1 sc in chain 3 space.  At every corner work 2 sc, chain 1, 2 sc in each chain 3 corner.  Join with slip stitch to beginning sc stitch.
Round 2- slip stitch in next 2 stitches, chain 4, 1 dc in same stitch, chain 1, * (1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc) in fourth stitch, ch 1* around, working (1 dc, chain 3, 1 dc) at each corner.  (It may be necessary to "fudge" the pattern a little to get the corners to work out properly.)  Slip stitch in chain 3 of beginning chain 4.  Fasten off.  Weave in ends.  Wear.

Yellow Polka Dots Summer Scarf

Have you ever started one of those projects that just seemed to be jinxed?  No matter what you do or how easy/hard the project is, it just doesn't want to happen and all you really want to do is shove it in a drawer and forget that you ever tried.  For some reason this scarf was one of those projects for me.  It's really not that difficult to make but I think I crocheted the thing 3 times with all the pulling out stitches and redoing I had to do.  But I promised all of you that I was working on a summery scarf pattern so I persisted and here it finally is.  My sincere apologies for it taking so long.  (In other news this is my modeling debut and also my self photography debut. :D)

Here is what you will need.

Yarn: I used a little over 2 skeins of 100% cotton sport weight yarn that were 2 1/4 oz. each.
Hook:  Size G

Chain 41.
R1:  1 dc in 7'th ch, *ch 1, 1 dc in 2nd ch, repeat from *, 1dc in last ch, ch 3, turn.
R2:  3 dc in 1st dc of previous row, * 1dc in 2nd dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, 7 dc in 2nd dc, repeat from *.  4 dc in turning ch, ch 3, turn.
R3:  Work 3 dc together in the 2nd and next 2 dc, *ch 3, dc in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, ch 3, work 7 dc together in the next 7 dc, repeat from *, work 3 dc in next 3 dc, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 4, turn.
R4.  *1 dc in ch 3 space, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in ch 3 space, ch 1, 1 dc in top of 7 dc worked together, ch 1, repeat from *, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 4, turn.
R5:  Skip 1'st dc, *dc in next dc, ch 1, repeat from *, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 4, turn.
R6.  1 dc in 2nd dc, *7 dc in the 2nd dc, 1 dc in the 2nd dc, ch 1, 1 dc in the next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in the next dc, ch 1, repeat from *, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 4, turn.
R7:  1 dc in 2nd dc, *ch 3, work 7 dc together in next 7 dc, ch 3, 1dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1dc in next dc, repeat from *, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 4, turn.
R8:  dc in 2nd dc, *ch 1, dc in ch 3 space, ch 1, 1 dc in top of 7 dc worked together, ch 1, 1 dc in ch 3 space, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, ch 1, 1 dc in next dc, repeat from *, 1 dc in turning ch, ch 3, turn.
Repeat R2-8 17 times.
Repeat R2-7 1 time.
Stitch 1 row of sc evenly all around the outside edge of the scarf, remembering to add an extra stitch at the corners to prevent bunching, slip stitch to first sc, and finish off.
Weave in all of the ends, trim, and done.

If you want to work this in a different yarn or would like a different width, the foundation chain is any number divisible by 12, plus 5.  To change length repeat R1-8 until desired length is reached.  (I skipped row 8 on the final repeat so that the ending rows and the beginning rows would match.)

Second attempt at modeling.  :)

P.S.  I have been known to make mistakes.  If you should find any feel free to let me know in the comments.  Thanks!

Pretty Pink Flowers Scarf

I am just loving this scarf.  If you are a fast crocheter, wouldn't this make a great Valentine's gift?  Or if it takes you a bit longer to finish a project, how about a Mother's Day gift?  This pattern works up very quickly.

So, on with it.  Yarn.  I used one skein of Red Heart super saver yarn (7 oz./364 yds.) and made this scarf and a coordinating hat which I will post next week.

Use hook J.

Chain 24.
R1 . Sc in second stitch from hook and each stitch across. (23 sc)
R2.  Ch 4, turn.  Skip first st, tr in next 6 st's.  Ch 4,* yarn over twice, insert hook in 4'th ch from hook, draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through two loops on hook, yarn over and draw through two loops on hook*, repeat once. (3 loops remain on hook).  Skip next two st's, *yarn over twice and insert hook in next st,, draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through two loops on hook, yarn over and draw throug two loops on hook*, repeat twice more (6 loops remain on hook).  Skip next three st's, repeat between second set *, 9 loops remain on hook.  Yarn over and draw through all 9 loops.  Ch 4, repeat between first set of *, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.  Skip next two st's, tr in next st and in remaining 6 st's.
R3.  Ch 4 ,turn. skip first st, tr in next 6 st's.  Ch 2, [ *yarn over twice and insert hook into middle of flower started on previous row, draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through two loops on hook, yarn over and draw through two loops on hook*, repeat 2 more times. (4 loops remain on hook) Yarn over and draw through all 4 loops.] Ch 3.  Repeat between brackets.  Ch 2, tr in next st and in remaining 6 st's.
R4.  Ch 3, turn.  Skip first st, dc in next 6 st's. Sc 2 in ch 2 space, 1 sc in tip of petal, 3 sc in ch 3 space, 1 sc in tip of petal, 2 sc in ch 2 sp.  Dc in next 7 st's.
Repeat R2-4 until scarf is nearly 5' long, about 26 times.
Repeat R2.
Repeat R3.
Final Row.  Ch 1, turn. Skip first st and sc in each remaining st and ch space for a total of 23 sc.
Fringe.  Cut 46-47 pieces of yarn about 10" long. To make fringe, fold one piece of yarn in half, draw hook through st, catch loop of yarn and pull through stitch.  Then pull the two ends of yarn piece (opposite of loop side) through loop and pull tight.  Repeat in each st on both ends of the scarf. Trim ends of fringe even if needed.  (I let my starting and ending piece of yarn be part of the fringe and pulled it through the loop along with the fringe.)

And there you have it!  It's really not as difficult as it sounds, it's actually very easy once you work a flower and can see what you are doing.  If you get stuck, let me know and I will try to help.

One more picture just because I love this scarf so much. :)
