Single Crochet Skinny Scarf

Hello!  I had a great time hooking this looooong skinny scarf over the past three days. I hooked it as a gift for a friend and then . . .  fell in love with it. Oops, I feel so guilty but it really livens up my wardrobe and I have decided to keeping it.  The good news is that I have already started a new scarf with a dotty pattern for my friend. Yay, I have been waiting for the right project to come along so that I could finally try out the "Squaring the Circle" pattern in US Treble crochet. 

I love how this scarf and my printed tights liven up a winter's day!

Skinny Scarf Pattern

To begin: chain 350

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of the next 348 chs, ch 1 (to turn) (349 sc)

Next few rows depending on the required width as per personal preference: sc in each sc across, then ch 1 to turn (349 sc). This scarf consists of 12 rows of sc

Edging: sc in 1st stitch. Then * sc, hdc, sc in next sc to form small shell. Skip next sc * Repeat between * The shell is thus hooked in every second sc of the previous row.

Then: Turn the scarf and crochet one row sc in the foundation row.

Repeat the edging.

Hook Size: 5mm

Yarn: 

Vinnis Nikkim in various colours

Vinnis Bambi in Seagreen

Kismet Strawberries and Cream in Charcoal Colour 8. This yarn is made of 50% recycled cotton and 50% Acrylic and is available in beautiful muted, chalky colours.  It splits quite badly though and is not a yarn I will use to hook larger projects with. 

Spring will sprung soon here in South Africa. We experienced a mild winter this year but after a harsh one last year nobody is complaining!  I love summer and am glad to see the seasonal changes kicking in. Yay, I cannot wait to enjoy numerous picnics and open air cinema again.
