This is an easy scarf
pattern by Shara Lambeth (click here for pattern). It makes up light and
drapey using an 8 ply yarn and the recommended hook. 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.
For this
scarf, I used Rowan’s alpaca colour yarn
(50g, 120m, 100% alpaca, 8 ply, colour violet). Recommended needle size 4.0 mm.
This was a lovely yarn to work with, and created a soft and warm finish that
I’m very pleased with.
Using a 4.0 mm
hook, and starting with 32 chain, the scarf used 4 skeins of yarn, and had a
finished size of 6.25 inches wide and 80 inches long.
This pattern is
suitable for any size yarn or hook. Simply start with any number of chain
divisable by 7 plus 4, which gives the desired width, and then work the pattern
to the desired length.
Hi Jenny, it is a beautiful scarf! thank you for sharing. I went directly to "knitrowan" just to find out the "alpaca colour" has been discontinued :(
ReplyDeleteAny recommendations of another yarn that can be used to make this scarf, hopefully a soft acrylic yarn e.g. Red Heart Unforgettable Yarn. Thanks again
Hi Edgar. I'm sorry to hear this yarn has been discontinued. The scarf would also be lovely made with Red Heart Unforgettable yarn. You would simply need to use a slightly larger hook and adjust the beginning chain to achieve the desired width.
