Husband Comments: I love this scarf because it is long. Most scarves are not long enough.
Husband Scarf Pattern:
Row 1: With N hook, Chain 275, Chain 3, turn (it's REALLY long. You could stop at 225 for an adult or 175 chains for a child.) Chaining with a larger, looser hook prevents the scarf from curving - keeps it straight b/c the first row of chain tends to be tighter.
Row 2: With I hook, Use the Chain 3 as the first double crochet. Double crochet in next stitch (front loop), then double crochet until end of row, chain 3, turn.
Row 3: Double crochet in next stitch. Chain 2. Double crochet in next 2 stitches. Repeat to end of row. Chain 3. Turn. (This added a simple design element - see close up photo.)
Row 4: Double crochet in first 2 stitches. Double crochet in the space. repeat to end of row.
Rows 5-8: Double crochet in each stitch (2 loops) to end of row. Chain 2. Turn.
Row 9: Double crochet in each stitch to end of row. Slip stitch to end. Cut end and thread through.
Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
Modification One:
For my son who has a gray and orange coat, I chained Row 1, did 3 Double crochet rows, then did Row 3 as above, followed by another 3 rows. Then I chain stitched orange thread and passed through the loops (as in Row 3 above). At the ends, I wrapped around the edge and threaded through.
Modification Two:
For my daughter who is just six years old, I skipped Row 3 (as above) and only did 6 rows. I also added 3 crochet flowers.
Modification Three:
My husband wanted another scarf that was thinner. I skipped Row 3 and just did a total of 6 rows and used a lighter weight yarn. The effect is a "dressy" scarf instead of a warm weather scarf.
I was just wondering if the first picture was a picture of your altered "dressier" scarf for your husband! If so, what weighted yarn/what brand of yarn did you use, because I really like the look of it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if the first picture you have (with the guy modeling the scarf) is the "dressier" scarf you modified for your husband. If so, I was wondering what weight of yarn you used/what brand of yarn you used. I really like the look of it!(I'm sorry if you got this comment twice, I wasn't sure if the first one went through or not)
