Women’s crochet scarf using Isar pattern

This is a quick and easy scarf pattern by Julia Vaconsin (click for pattern). It makes up loose or chunky depending on the yarn and hook used. In addition, the original pattern includes fringes.

For this scarf, I used Lincraft’s Allegro yarn (50g (70m), 30% wool and 70% acrylic, 10-12 ply, colour 07). This was a great yarn to work with, and its thin/thick texture was fabulous for hiding small errors in tension.

Using a 6mm hook, and starting with 24 chain, the scarf used 4 balls of yarn, and had a finished size of 6.5 inches wide and 72 inches long.

Note that the Isar scarf pattern starts with 40 chain, and has a base pattern using 8 chain in multiples plus 8 chain. Therefore, because I used a thicker yarn and hook, I opted for 2x8 chain for the base pattern plus 8 chain = 24 chain to start.

The scarf is soft though holds its shape, slightly chunky, and very warm.
