Second-Winter Scarf

April 2, 2018

While I completed this project months ago, I never got around to posting the final product. When I woke up to winter wonderland again this morning (yes, it’s April 2 and still snowing), I decided it must not be too late! And since it is spring according to the calendar, who knows, you just might be able to find the yarn on winter clearance at your local craft stores.

I received this fun, eclectic yarn back in October for my birthday from my wonderful brother (so grateful my family supports my love of yarn!), and I was excited to see how it worked up. I enjoyed playing around with it and loved how quickly it worked up.

With a simple stitch pattern, the yarn does all the work in creating a stunning, interesting finished piece. Look at the different textures right on one skein!

If you happen to be in an area that seems to be stuck in winter like I am, you can work up this scarf in no time and maybe even get some mileage out of it before packing up for the season!

You can add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here or Pin It for later here.

Finished size: 5” x 55”

My Materials:

  • Bernat Mix Home (Wedgewood) – 1 skein
  • hook L (8 mm)
  • tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

  • BLO – back loop only
  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • extsc – extended single crochet

Notes:

  • Work in the back loop only to complete rows 2-10.
  • When working with the blue “crimpy” yarn portions of the skein, work a normal single crochet (this cuts down on differing gauge).

Special stitch – extended single crochet (extsc):

  1. Insert hook into the next stitch.
  2. Yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook).
  3. Yarn over and pull through the first loop on hook (still 2 loops on hook).
  4. Yarn over and pull through both loops to finish stitch.

The Pattern:

Ch 111

Row 1: extended sc into 2nd chain and all the rest, ch 1, turn (110 extsc)

Work in back loop only for the remainder of the project.

Rows 2-9: BLO, extsc in each stitch across, ch 1, turn (110 extsc)

Row 10: BLO, extsc into each stitch across (100 extsc)

Finish off and weave in ends.

Yarnfully Yours,
