Add fringe to the ends! I did this by cutting 8 inch strands.. I would insert my hook through the end of the scarf, wrap 2 strands around hook, pull through to form a hoop, pull the ends of the strands through the hoop. And TUG!
I just finished this beautiful scarf last night!! I printed out the pattern about a week ago, and it is already finished. This is the 2nd thing I’ve ever crocheted, so I’m sure a more experienced crocheter could make it faster! All the time I’ve been working on it, I’ve been trying to decide who to give it to…when I put it on – there was no question!!! I’m keeping it for myself!!!! It is so comfortable; it doesn’t even come close to comparing the comfort level of the first scarf I made when attending a 2 evening Crochet Class!!! I used basically the same colors as in the photo, except the violet color is lighter (labeled as “Orchid”). I also used Simply Soft. I wish I’d read the comments before starting, because I wasn’t sure how much yarn I’d need. After I did a few rows I panicked and went out and bought 3 more of these same colors!! I’m sure I’ll find some use for them at some point. Thanks Corina for a really beautiful, soft and squishy scarf!!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I was tempted to keep the scarf myself too!! I will be making more of these. I may try it out with I Love This Yarn next time <3 You are doing great if this is just your second project and you are already doing the shell stitch!!!! Good job! Would love to see a picture. If you are on facebook, feel free to post it on my page 😀
How much yarn did it end up using?
Thanks
Less than a skein for each color. My guess is around a half skein for each. If I make another one to gift this year I will try to get a better idea. If you make it let me know 🙂
I love this 🙂 I’m planning on adapting this pattern for a throw blanket! how long is this when finished?
Im sorry Sarah, I have no clue how long it is.. I don’t have the scarf either or I would measure it up real quick.
I made your scarf and love the pattern.Thanks for sharing. i’m going to make a shawl with out the fringe i think and a lap and full afghan for by starting like you did gives the finish edge and when you finish how ever long you make them it looks the same at each end.
I’m almost finished making the scarf but I used red and white for valentines it’s so beautiful . I’m trying to find a matching hat pattern. Thanks so much for the pattern
I am working on this scarf in dark grey and dark red. It is looking good! I am curious if you have a hat pattern that matches? Thank you for the pattern. I will post to your Facebook when I finish it.
I don’t and honestly never thought about it til now! Maybe I will be able to work one up before Christmas.
Okay, sounds like fun! One more quick question, your granny slouch hat pattern, how many skeins does it take? I was looking at that one to complement this scarf and need to know if I will have enough leftover yarn. Thank you for the quick response!
For how many skeins.. it would depend on what kind of yarn and size of skein you use. But really…. the hat doesn’t take a lot of yarn.
I love this pattern! I am working on a scarf for a toddler and started with 100 chain and it is perfect! Using red and white and it really looks good!! Thank you for sharing!
Than you so much for sharing this pattern. I am 75% done my first one already envisioning a ton of Christmas scarfs in bright and personable colors. I have been crocheting for about 30 years and I anticipate it taking me about 5 hours of corchet to make this. Very easy and enjoyable crocheting. I am using Red Heart Soft in Berry and Wine and LOVING IT!
Thanks Again

I make and donate prayer shawls to my church, this is so pretty I’m going to make it wider for a shawl. We rely on yarn donations for our shawls so I never know what yarns I’ll be using. This will be great for using up those odds and ends that we always seem to have an abundance of, thank you so much for sharing your pattern and talent.
I feel like a real dummy,lol. Anyway I got to the end of the 1st row. Now I’m stumped @ the end of th 1st row. I’m sure it’s explained very well. I don’t know what u mean about putting a slip stitch on the opposite side. I had a stroke so my focus is troubling. I do better with videos.Is there a video? I’m sure when I understand what you mean I’ll want to slap myself, saying duh. Thank you for this patter. Have a good day. Jane
I made your scarf, it came out beautiful, I would like to make another scarf a little longer, how much can should I increase the beginning chain?
