Handmade Especially For You

Materials:

• Crochet hooks sizes US M/N (9mm) and US N (10mm) (This size works best if you knit tight; if you crochet more loosely use a combination of smaller sizes.)
   
• MC (Main Color)-Worsted weight (medium, 4) yarn [Alternatively this pattern can be made using a single strand of Super Bulky yarn (6) alone.] - 120 yards (360 feet)
   
• CC (Contrast Color)-Worsted weight, or bulky yarn (5) – 100 yards (300 feet)
   
• F (Fun Fur) or novelty yarn – 20 yards (60 feet)

Pattern:

1^st End:

With smaller hook and one strand of MC and F held together, chain 12.

Row 1:  DC in 4^th chain from hook (counts as 2 DC), and in each chain across-10DC.  Chain 3, turn.

Row 2:  DC in 2^nd DC and each DC across, DC in top of turning chain-10DC.  Chain 3, turn.

Repeat Row 2 to desired length (I find 6 rows gives a nice “look” to the finished scarf), working the last DC until 2 loops remain on the hook.  Clip F (leaving several inches to weave in later) and with one strand each of MC and CC held together, YO and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook.

Body:

Row 1:  Switch to larger hook and continuing with one strand each of MC and CC held together, chain 1 and turn.   SC in 2^nd DC and each DC across, SC in top of turning chain-10 SC.  Chain 3, turn. 

Row 2:  DC in 2^nd SC, (chain 1, skip next SC, DC in next SC) 3 times, chain 1, skip next SC, DC in top of turning chain.  Chain 3, turn.

Row 3:  DC in 1^st chain 1 space of previous row, (chain 1, DC in chain 1 space of previous row) 3 times, chain 1, DC in top of turning chain.  Chain 3, turn.

Repeat Row 3 until the scarf measures approximately 56” (or 60” minus the length of the 1^st end; this is usually 56-60 pattern rows, depending on the bulk of the yarns).  Chain 1, turn.

Row 4:  SC in each DC and chain 1 space across, insert hook in top of turning chain and draw up a loop.  Clip CC (leaving several inches to weave in later) and with one strand each of MC and F held together, YO and pull through both loops on hook-10SC.

2^nd End:

Row 1:  Switch to smaller hook and continuing with one strand of MC and F held together, chain 3 and turn.  DC in 2^nd SC and each SC across, DC in turning chain-10 DC.  Chain 3, turn.

Row 2:  DC in 2^nd DC and each DC across, DC in top of turning chain.

Repeat Row 2 until 2^nd end has the same number of rows as 1^st end, fasten off.  Weave in all ends.
