I was playing around with stitches the other night when I discovered a fun and simple way to make this beautiful scarf. The reason I just *had* to write it out is because I wanted to make sure I remember how to make the leaning rows. Just a simple stitch placement and it all falls into place!
Supplies
#4 Medium Weight Yarn – I used Yarn Bee’d Effervesce Mango. (One Skein)
J/10-6.00 MM Crochet Hook
Yarn Needle
Stitches Used
CH – Chain
DC – Double Crochet
3-DC-Cl – 3-Double Crochet Cluster
Lets Get Started!
Row 1: CH 27. Turn. Skip 3 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. **Skip 2 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. Repeat from ** six more times. Skip 1 CH. DC into last CH.
Row 2: CH 3. Turn. 3-DC-CL into CH space of V stitch. **CH 2. 3-DC-CL into CH space of next V stitch. Repeat from ** six more times. CH 1. DC into 2nd CH of CH 3.
Row 3: CH 3. Turn. **{DC, CH 1, DC}- into CH just to the right of the cluster stitch. (See photo below for guidance) Repeat from ** 7 more times. CH 1. DC into 2nd CH of CH 3.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until desired length. I made mine 4 feet long and had yarn to spare.
Finish off leaving a long tail. Using Yarn needle, weave tail attaching both ends together.
Can I use other medium worsted weight yarn such as Caron Simply Soft yarn or Redheart?
You really can use any yarn and hook you want. 😀 I will love seeing the finished product with different yarn!
Hello! I started this scarf and I’m having a hard time understanding the pattern. I may just be crazy, but when I did the chain 27 then followed the rest of the pattern for the 1st row, I actually get 7 “v’s” not 6. Also, the directions for the 3rd row say to start in the chain to the right of the cluster, in the picture it kind of shows to the left of the cluster.
Very pretty scarf and easy pattern, but can you just clarify how many “v’s” and how many clusters should be in the rows. Thanks! 🙂
It says “6 more times”. Meaning the first time is not included in the “repeat 6 *more* times”. And in the photo, I took a photo of the other side of the scarf. So it is flipped the wrong way. You do crochet to the right of the cluster.
Yeah, but with the chain 27, it actually allows you to do it “7 more times” making it a total of 8. Am I doing something wrong?
No you are not. I will try to explain it with the first row.
Row 1: CH 27. Turn. Skip 3 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. < (this is the first) **Skip 2 CH. {DC, CH 1, DC}-into next CH. < (this is the second) Repeat from ** six more times. (equals 8 total) Skip 1 CH. DC into last CH.
