Crochet Pebble Cove Scarf
With its lovely texture that mimics the pebbled shores, this scarf isn't just a way to keep out the chill; it's a piece of wearable art that adds charm to any outfit. Whether you're out running errands or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee outdoors, let this scarf be your trusty companion.
Materials Needed: You will need DK yarn and a 4.5 mm crochet hook. The example uses Hayfield Spirit DK in shade Harmony.
Starting Chain: Begin by creating a chain of 32 stitches. This count achieves five 'Peb' shell stitches across the scarf.
First Row - Starting Shell:
- In the second chain from the hook, create a UK double crochet (U.S. single crochet).
- Skip the next two chains, and into the third chain, work five UK trebles (U.S. double crochets).
- Dr. Skip two chains again, then do a UK double crochet into the next.
- Continue by skipping two chains, then placing five UK trebles into the next chain.
Repeat this pattern across the first row.
Second Row - Shell Creation:
- At the end of Row 1, you should have three chains left. Skip two and UK double into the final chain.
- Turn your work around.
- Start directly into the first stitch at the beginning of Row 2 by placing a UK treble (this doesn't have a chain gap).
- Place two more UK trebles into the same stitch to create your half shell (three trebles total).
- Then, skip two stitches, and UK double crochet into the middle treble of the shell below.
Continue by skipping two more stitches and working five UK trebles into the back loop of the next top stitch from the previous UK double crochet.
Pattern Repeat:
- After completing the second row, turn your work and repeat the steps for Row 1 to create another shell-like pattern.
- Continue this process by alternating between the pattern established in Rows 1 and 2 until your scarf reaches the desired length.
Finishing the Scarf:
- Decide if you want a flat scarf or an infinity scarf.
- For an infinity scarf, join the ends together, choosing whether or not to add tassels.
