In this part of the series, I would like to share with you my newest winter scarf design.
I created this as a gift to a new co-worker who recently moved north and is experiencing his first winter in the northeast. Let’s just say he is not used to the cold weather up here.
This pattern is intended to be very thick and warm for the dead of winter so I used 4 ply acrylic yarn for this pattern. Of course, you can always make a smaller version of this by cutting down the dimensions to 22in x 70in to create a “skinny scarf”. Also, using a lightweight yarn will also make this pattern more suitable for lighter winters.
The stitches (st) I use for this pattern are chain (ch), single crochet (sc), and double crochet (dc).
I use 4 ply yarn with the hook suggested on the yarn label.
Start with ch 35
Row 1: 34 sc, turn
Row 2: ch 2, skip (sk) sc, sc in next st, sc across, turn
Row 3: ch 2, sc in ch space, ch across
Row 4 – 8: repeat row 3
row 9: ch 2, dc across,
row 10: ch 3, sk dc, ch, dc in next st,
row 11: dc across,
row 12: ch 2, sk sc, sc in next st, sc across, turn
row 13: ch 2, sc in ch space, ch across
Row 14 – 18: repeat row 3
row 19: ch 2, dc across,
row 20 – 21: repeat row 19
Row 22 – 121: repeat rows 12 through row 21
Row 122 – 131: repeat row 2 through row 8
Row 132: ch, sc across
ch, sc around edges, 3 sc in each corner stitch, tie off
