Pattern:
I've used worsted and bulky types.
H to N hook. (depending on yarn type)
You can substitute double crochet with half double crochet if you like.
Foundation:
- Chain 3.
- 2 dc into the last chain. Ch 1, 3 dc (into last chain), ch 3. Turn.
Row 2:
- 2 double crochet in the first st.
- Chain 1. '3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc' in the ch 1 space (hole) *ch 1, 2 dc in last st.
- Chain 3, turn.
Row 3:
- 2 Double crochet in the first st.
- Chain 1. 3 dc in ch 1 space. Chain 1. '3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc' in the [hole].
- Chain 1. 3 dc in ch 1 space.
- Chain 1, 3 dc in last st. Chain 3, turn.
Repeat row 3 to get it as large as you would like.
I see this in my head better than explaining. I wouldn't deem this a beginner project! I put up bullet points to separate it into pieces.
How I see this:
The Chain 3 before Row 3 acts as the third double crochet.
- BEGIN ROW 3: 3 dc in each ch-space (hole) until you reach the middle point.
- Middle point: '3 dc, ch 1, 3 dc'
-Go back down the other side with 3 dc in each ch 1 space.
-While chaining one in between :)
You can attach yarn to make a double crochet rectangle to wrap or tie around yourself.
Sew on a large enough button and wear it like so.
I left tails on both sides to loosely tie it :)
I do have variations of this scarf that I'll be writing up shortly.
This is a basic pattern of this watermelon scarf. That one has a lace-esque edging and two rectangles on each side to tie/wrap around.
