i said to myself, i need a big chunky circular scarf to wear all the time.. and this is what came of it.
i am putting this grey one in my
etsy shop, and also, here is the pattern:
( this pattern is intended for personal use only, thank you! )
chunky circle scarf
you will need:
2 skeins of worsted weight yarn (i used caron simply soft) using both strands at once throughout, otherwise you could use bulky weight yarn
10 mm crochet hook , or any large hook (i crochet quite loosely, so if you don't, a hook larger than the one i used will work better)
large needle for weaving in ends
stitches used:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
dc: double crochet
dc4tog: double crochet 4 stitches together: yarn over once, insert the hook into the stitch, draw up 1 loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (2 loops remaining)
now leave those 2 remaining loops on the hook and yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (4 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (3 loops remaining)
leave the 3 loops on hook, yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (5 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (4 loops remaining)
leave the 4 loops on hook, yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (6 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (5 loops remaining)
to finish the dc4together, yarn over once, and draw through all 5 loops at once.
dc7tog: double crochet 7 stitches together: same as dc4tog, but instead of finishing off by drawing through all 5 loops, keep going over next 3 stitches: leave the 5 loops on hook, yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (7 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (6 loops remaining)
leave the 6 loops on hook, yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (8 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (7 loops remaining) leave the 7 loops on hook, yarn over once, insert hook into the next stitch, draw up 1 loop (9 loops on hook), yarn over, draw through 2 loops (8 loops remaining)
to finish the dc7together, yarn over once, and draw through all 8 loops at once.
gauge:
4 rows are a little over three inches tall,
and one pattern repeat (10 stitches, the stitch patterns between the *'s) are about 4 and a quarter inches long
finished size:
about 60 inches around, and 10 inches wide
using both strands of yarn at once, chain 131
(NOTE: i crochet quite loosely, so if your scarf is coming out too short, just add multiples of ten chains to the original 131 chains)
row 1: turn. ch 1, 2 sc, *skip 3 chs, 7 dcs in next stitch, skip 3 chs, 3 scs* ; repeat from * to * ending with 2 scs.
row 2: turn. ch 2. dc4together over (sc, sc, dc, dc), *ch 3, 3 scs, ch 3, dc7tog over (dc, dc, sc, sc, sc, dc, dc)*; repeat from * to * across, ending with dc4tog over (dc, dc, sc, sc), skip turning ch.
row 3: turn. ch 2. 4 dcs in dc4tog, *skip ch-3, 3 scs, skip ch-3, 7 dcs in dc7tog*; repeat from * to * across, ending with 4 dcs in dc4tog, skip turning ch.
row 4: turn. ch 1. 2 scs, *ch 3, dc7tog (over dc, dc, sc, sc, sc, dc, dc), ch 3, 3 scs*; repeat from * to * across, ending with 2 scs, skip turning ch.
repeat rows 1-4, 2 more times. do not bind off.
connect the two ends of the scarf to create a circle and slip stitch them together. bind off and weave in ends.
