Materials: worsted weight yarn in two colors, H hook
Size: 6” x 48”
To adjust size, chain an even number.
Note1 - every row begins with a sc in first stitch. After the first stitch, you will sc if the next st is a ch space, and you will ch-1 and skip one if the next st is a sc.
Note2 - Row 1 is your RIGHT side. If you have trouble telling front from back, you might want to mark this side. You can use a strand of contrasting yarn, or a paper clip or a safety pin.
Abbreviations (American terminology):
sc - single crochet
ch - chain
dc - double crochet
st - stitch
hdc - half double crochet
tr - triple crochet
Instructions:
With Color A, chain 184.
Row 1: sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across (183)
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in first sc, * ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next sc, repeat from * across. You should finish evenly, with a sc in your last st.
Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc in first sc, sc in ch-1 space, *chain 1, skip next sc, sc in next ch-1 space, repeat from * across row to last st, sc in last st, changing color on last st (If you work 2 rows of each color you don’t have to cut unused color, you can carry it along side)
Row 4: with Color B ch 1, turn, sc in first sc, * ch 1, skip next sc, sc in next ch-1 space,, repeat from * across. You should finish evenly, with a sc in your last st.
Rows 5 — 15: Repeat rows 3 and 4 in the following color sequence, finishing on Row 3
Row 1-3: Color A
Row 4-5: Color B
Row 6-7: Color A
Row 8-9: Color B
Row 10-11: Color A
Row 12-13: Color B
Row 14-15: Color A
Row 16: with Color A, sc across, change to Color B
At this point you will start working in the round. You might consider this the edging.
Edging:
Round 17: With Color B, sc around entire piece, working (sc, hdc, sc) in corners
Note: My scarf was about 4 1/2” wide at this point
Round 18: Join Color A, ch 1, 2 dc in same spot as join, 2 dc in each sc around.
Round 17: dc around entire piece, working (dc, tr, dc) in corners
Round 18: Join Color A, ch 1, 2 dc in same spot as join, 2 dc in each sc around.
Great design. The top picture looks like the same colors as the Scarves for Special Olympics project - is that coincidence?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not coincidence. It IS the colors. I'd intended to make it for Special Olympics but it came out too short. I have plenty of the yarn though and have already made many scarves for them, so no problem here. I'll make another one for them and send this one somewhere else.
