Skill Level

2 – Easy

Materials Required

Yarn

Sport / Baby yarn weight #2 (Fine), approx 580g / 1,508m required in total.

  • 1 pack of 58 colours of Scheepjes Stone Washed colours and River Washed yarn in 10g balls (78% cotton and 22% acrylic).

Pattern will work with other hooks and yarns, though the finished size will vary.

Hook

3.5mm (US size E/4).

Additional Materials

  • Scissors
  • A yarn needle
  • Stitch markers

Gauge

5 sts = 2.5cm / 1 inch; 5 rows = 5cm / 1.9 inches

Obtaining the correct gauge is critical to this project for two reasons: if you do not match gauge, your item will either be bigger or smaller than the specified finished size, and cables can consume a lot of yarn, which might leave you running short. Try going up or down a hook size to meet gauge, and if you tend to crochet loosely, ensure you have extra yarn before you start.

Finished Size

174cm long x 48cm wide / 68 inches long x 19 inches wide

Pattern Instructions

  • The ch3 at the start of a row counts as the first st.
  • You may find it useful to add a stitch marker to the first / last st of a row.
  • Change Colours:

    Every three rows; fasten off the last st and weave in ends. Attach the new colour to the top of the last st worked with a sl st to join. See optional colour order above.

Row Instructions

The six-row repeat of rows 4 to 9 makes up the pattern for the scarf:

Rows 10 – 171: Repeat rows 4–9 twenty-seven more times. Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Blocking

The design of this scarf may benefit from being wet blocked.

  • Completely soak your item in cold water then gently squeeze (without wringing it) out some of the excess water.
  • Using your tape measure and pins, carefully pin your item on your blocking board.
  • Double-check your measurements if necessary (e.g., check the height and width are correct).
  • Leave to dry completely over 24 hours, and then unpin.
