Crochet Mimosa Scarf
Supplies Needed:
- Yarn: Medium/4/worsted weight (approximately 500 yds/ 280g/ 460m). The pattern used “I Love This Yarn” by Hobby Lobby.
- Hook: 6 mm (J) crochet hook.
- Other: Yarn needle, scissors, (optional) a template for cutting fringe (a book or DVD case works well).
Gauge:
- 4” x 4” = 8 (DC2TOG, CH 1) x 6 rows following the stitch pattern from repeat rows.
Pattern Notes:
- This pattern uses standard US crochet terms.
- Final dimensions are 8” x 70” without fringe, 80” with fringe. Adjust the length by adding/subtracting repeat rows and width by adjusting the starting chain in multiples of 2.
- CH 1 at the beginning of rows does NOT count as a stitch.
- CH 2 at the beginning of rows counts as a DC.
- DC2TOG is worked in the same ST, used as a cluster, not a decrease.
- Stitch counts are provided at the bottom right of each row.
Stitch Abbreviations:
- CH – Chain
- ST – Stitch
- SK – Skip
- SP – Space
- HDC – Half Double Crochet
- DC – Double Crochet
- DC2TOG – Double Crochet 2 Together (worked in the same chain space as a cluster, not a decrease).
Pattern Details:
- Start by chaining 31. HDC in the 2nd chain from the hook and each chain across. [30 stitches]
- CH 2 (counts as a DC), turn. DC2TOG in next ST, CH 1, SK next ST, repeat from * to * across, ending with a DC in the last ST. [14 DC clusters + 2 DC]
- CH 2 (counts as a DC), turn. DC2TOG in the next CH SP, CH 1, repeat from * to * across, end with a DC in the top of the CH 2. [14 DC clusters + 2 DC]
- Repeat step 3.
- CH 1 (does not count as a stitch), turn. HDC in each stitch across, working the last HDC at the top of CH 2. Fasten off and weave in ends. [30 stitches]
Optional Fringe:
- Cut yarn strips about 11 inches long. This results in a 5-inch fringe.
- Attach 2 strands in every other stitch along the short ends of the scarf for a simple look or in every stitch for a fuller fringe, avoiding the corner stitches.
- To attach the fringe, fold the strands in half, insert the hook into a stitch, grab the looped end, pull through the stitch, then pull the loose ends through the loop and tighten.
