Women’s crochet scarf using Spring Petals pattern

This is a quick and easy scarf pattern by Ragamuffin (click here for pattern). It will be loose or chunky depending on the yarn and hook used. This type of pattern is great when you’re not sure if you have enough yarn for a long scarf because you just decide the width and then keep crocheting until the yarn runs out. In addition, it has a nice scalloped edge along the length.

For this scarf, I used Mondial’s Merino Special Superwash yarn (50g (75m), 60% wool and 40% acrylic, 12 ply, colour 359 [teal]). This was a beautiful and soft yarn to work with.

Using a 6mm hook, and starting with 25 chain, the scarf used 4.75 balls of yarn, and had a finished size of 6.5 inches wide and 70.5 inches long.

Note that this pattern starts with 25 chain, and has a base pattern using 4 chain in multiples plus 5 chain. Therefore, if using a different size yarn and/or hook, increase or decrease the starting chain in multiples of 4 to reach the desired width for your scarf. 

The scarf is lovely and soft, holds its shape, and is slightly chunky. I’m happy with the size of the hook used for this yarn and pattern, though it would be interesting to try this pattern in a lighter yarn and smaller hook to see what results.

Scarves like this one are great weekend projects as they only take about 4 to 5 hours to make, so do not need a lot of staying power to complete.

I’m making a lot of scarves at the moment to give to my family at Christmas. Hopefully they enjoy wearing them as much as I am enjoying making them.
