Striped Scarf

Here in Iowa, winter has not forgotten us! It snowed a couple of weeks ago and it is nearly melted.

It does not help that after it snows, we have a warm day fooling flowers into coming out, when it isn't quite ready to be spring yet. 

I am sure there are still cold days ahead, so there is plenty of time to make a new scarf for someone you love. If you don't like Iowa weather one day, it is sure to change the next!

This pattern was inspired by a knit scarf my husband and I ran across in a yarn store. I of course adjusted colors and used common crochet stitches to create my own!

This pattern is simple, using simple stitches and a 5mm hook. The yarn I used was Patons Classic Wool, my husband wanted a scratchy scarf.

You will need three colors (A, B, C)

Crochet terms:
DC: Double Crochet
SC: Single Crochet
HDC: Half Double crochet

Note: Scarf is created repeating the same row multiple times. Row 2 is repeated 8 times each time, Row 3 is repeated 10 times each time and Row 4 is repeated 3 times.

Note: Color pattern is as follows; A, B, A, B, C.

Starting with A, Chain 30.

Row 1: 1 DC in 3rd chain from hook, continue in each chain across.

Row 2: Chain 3, DC in each chain across. Repeat Row 6 more times, changing color at the end of the row.

Row 3: With B chain 1, SC in each DC Across. Repeat Row 9 more times. Changing back to A at end of the row.

Repeat Row 2 with A eight times, changing to B at the end of the row.

Repeat Row 3 with B ten times, changing to C at end of the Row.

Row 4: With C, chain 2, HDC in each SC across. Repeat row 2 more times.

Repeat rows 2-4 until scarf measures 84 inches.

I hope you find the scarf making relaxing and enjoyable! I know I did. Happy crocheting!
