Boys Textured Scarf

Last week I posted a hat to match the scarf I had made a few months ago.  The scarf had gone to my 4 year old daughter (she absolutely loves it and wears it everywhere we go) and it got my 5 year old son hinting that maybe he needed a scarf, too.  He loves the color green, so that is the color we went with.  I took him to the store with me and we picked out just the color he wanted.  After playing around with some stitching options, we found something he liked and went with it.

Boys Textured Scarf

Materials:

*H Hook

*Caron Simply Soft in Dark Sage

To change the width of the scarf: Begin with a multiple of 3+2

To make a scarf for a toddler/young child:

Ch 20.

R1: Beginning in 2nd ch from hook, SC in each ch across.  

R2: Ch 2.  {1 SC, 1 HDC, 1 DC} in first stitch.  *Skip next 2 stitches.  {1 SC, 1 HDC, 1 DC} in next stitch* Repeat to end, 1 SC in last stitch.  Turn.
R3-R140: Repeat Row 2.
R141: Ch 1. SC in each stitch across.  Tie off and hide ends.

Obviously, you can just add more (or less) rows to your liking. 

Mustard Colored Ruffled Scarf

Ruffled Scarf

*The pattern instructions are for a toddler scarf, but this could easily be converted to a woman's scarf-which I plan to do shortly!

Materials Needed:

*H Hook

*Red Heart Yarn in Gold

Ch 12
R1: DC in 3rd chain from the hook, and in each chain across.  Ch 3, turn.
R2-R60: DC in front loop only of each stitch across.  Ch 3, turn. 

Crocheting only in the front loops creates "Free Loops" in which you will create ruffles later on.

 R61: 3DC in each stitch across (under both loops).  This is the first row of ruffled.  Now, we begin to work back over the scarf, adding the ruffles. 

3 DC around the last DC of previous row, as shown in picture. 

3 DC on the edge of the scarf, crocheted over the last DC of that row

Now you will begin to work in the free loops (abbreviated FL for the remainder of pattern).  3 DC in each FL across.  3 DC around last DC to move on to next row.  This requires turning the work, as the next row of FL is on the opposite side.  Continue spiraling around the scarf to in like manner to it's end. 

Happy Crocheting!

Fall Lace Scarf

Ah, the leaves are changing!  I love this time of year.  Pumpkin, apples, cooler weather and of course, the beautiful colors!


To get us ready for the cooler weather that comes with the fall, I put together a pretty lace scarf.  I wanted the stitches to be light and airy, since fall doesn't mean freezing temperatures, only cool, crisp air.  I hope you all enjoy it!

Fall Lace Scarf

*Materials: 

*H Hook (5.50MM)

*1-2 skein(s) Caron Simply Soft Yarn in Garnet or Autumn Red

*Scissors

*A book (yes, seriously)

Main Piece:

-Chain 27

-Row 1: DC in 3rd chain from hook, and in each chain to end of row.  Ch 3, turn.

-Row 2: Skip first DC.  *[1 DC, ch 1, 1 DC] in next stitch.  Skip next 2 DC* and repeat from * to last 2 stitches.  Skip next stitch.  DC in last stitch.  Ch 3, turn. 

-Row 3: 3 DC in each ch space to to last ch space.  1 DC in last ch space.  Ch 3, turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 to desired length.  

**NOTE: My scarf has the pattern repeated to 70 rows, but this is because I ran out of yarn (I used less than 1 skein of yarn, probably about 3/4 of a skein).  This is a good length for one of my daughters, but not for an adult.  I'd recommend continuing the pattern to at least 100 rows and then deciding how to proceed from there.

-When desired length has been achieved, repeat row 2. 

-DC in each stitch and chain across.  Tie off, weave in ends.  

Fringe:

Here's where you book comes in.  :)

Take your yarn and wrap it width-wise around the book.  Start at the spine: 

You need to determine how much fringe you want.  I did 1 string (2 strands when attached) per DC space.  I think it would have looked even better with 2 strings (4 strands when attached) per DC space, but alas, I ran out of yarn.  For 1 string per space, you'll need 25 strings, so wrap it around 25 times.  Double that if you'd like.  

When you have it wrapped around the amount of times desired, Cut straight across the middle of the spine.

To attach the strands, decide which end you want to begin with.  Starting from the left, insert your hook in the first stitch.  Take your first string and place the center of it on the end of your hook, then pull it up through the stitch.  Hook the remaining strands and pull through the loop.  Continue on each stitch across.
