We are going to make ourselves this easy SCARF!!!

Winter is coming, folks!! Are you prepared? I'm NOT, LOLOL

How about we make this super easy Scarf so we can wear it during the cold weather?

We are going to make One Skein Scarf. Skein refers to the amount of yarn. In the picture below you see one skein as it comes from the store.

If you have questions or want to contact me, please do so AND give me a head's up on here so I don't accidently delete you from my SPAM folder!!

The yarn I selected is called Banana Berry and it is by Red Heart Super Saver. When you buy it, it looks like this:

I saw the colours and just had to buy it!! I bought 3 of this colour at my local Walmart. I live in a little town up in the Missouri Ozark, pickins' are slim around here, LOL

Ok, let's get down to business!!!

This is what you need for this project:

Your Yarn the you picked out
This pattern asks for Crochet Hook Size I
4 items to use as markers (bobby pins, safety pins, etc,,,)
Tapestry needle
Scissors


Ok, we are going to start with a foundation chain of 21.

For Row 1 that we are going to crochet on that foundation chain of 21,
you need to count starting with the loop on the hook to the 5th chain.
Now--and this is very important--in that same 5th chain, you are going to crochet 2dc ch1 2dc

Let me say that again in uncrochet English, LOL

Count to the 5th chain on your foundation chain starting with the loop ON your hook as number 1.

Now, in the 5th chain, you are going to crochet 2 double crochets chain one and crochet 2 double crochets again.

This is a picture of mine:

I placed my marker where I did my ch1.

Now, I want you to next repeat the same cluster(DC,ch1,2DC) 3 more times, counting 5 chains and placing the cluster in each 5th ch. I recommend you mark each ch1, I am going to mark mine. You will see in a minute why that is important.

If the colours in this shot and the one above don't line up, it is because they are from 2 different times. This shot is from my first row I marked when I made my first scarf. It serves the purpose I want to address here, that is what I am using it.

Each ch1 is marked across the row. That is because in each ch1, you are going to crochet your DC cluster.

So, just to back up a little, if you were reading a crochet pattern, your instructions for beginning the scarf and crocheting your first row would look like this:

Ch 21

Row 1: (2DC, ch 1, 2DC) in 5th ch from hook, *skip 3 ch, (2DC, ch1, 2DC) in next ch. Repeat from * 3 more times, ending with skip 1 ch, DC in last ch, turn.


Now, don't sweat it if that intimidates you or is confusing, I am going to cover reading crochet patterns in a couple of lessons.

Now, for your second row, chain 3 right off the bat. Once you have done your ch3, you are going to crochet (2DC, ch1, 2DC) in the ch 1 you have marked from your previous row. 

If that doesn't make sense, read it again and think about it. You are going to crochet in a shell like pattern and this gives the scarf a lacy effect.

Now, if you were reading the crochet pattern, the second row would look like this:

Row 2: Ch 3, (2DC, ch 1, 2DC) in each ch 1 sp across, ending with DC in top of turning ch, turn.

Repeat row 2 until scarf is your preferred length. If desired, work sc border around entire scarf before binding off.

See how it looks lacy? Keep on with the pattern until your scarf is the length you want it to be. Mine measures 40.5 because I am short and I don't like a lot of leftover scarf hanging around, LOL

Now, I got in a hurry working on mine and I had to go back and pull out several rows because my tension was uneven. So, keep an eye on your tension!!


I'd love to see pics of yours!! Or feedback on this lesson or questions, if you have any!!
