A friend of mine wanted me to make a scarf for her husband. She sent me a picture she liked and now I'm in the process of making it. I used in this scarf grey 100% acrylic yarn. The scarf is worked vertically. I will be posting the pictures of the scarf when I finish ensha2 Allah*.
Pattern:
Chain until it reaches about 190 cm.
Row 1: dc in fourth chain from the hook, turn.
Row 2: chain 1, sc in back loops only, turn.
Row 3: chain 3 (acts as 1 dc), dc in back loop of next stitches.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until the width of the scarf becomes about 10cm.
*dc = double crochet
*sc = single crochet
* ensha2 Allah means in Arabic "if God wills".

I'm new to crochet and it hadn't yet occurred to me to work vertically. I LOVE this. Can you point me to some tips on making the fringe at the end?

ReplyDeleteHiya!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely scarf!o__o
I want to make one for my dad and was wondering if you could specify what size hook and how much yarn you used?
Thank you for sharing this pattern with us all!:-)
I believe its 3.00mm Hook size and Worsted / 10 ply (9 wpi) yarn weight.

3.0 hook is too small, I'm using a H, I or J hook.
DeleteHow much yarn did take....1 or 2 skeins, yardage?
ReplyDeleteDon't mean to sound dumb but what does 190 cm equal out to in number of chains?
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell me how many chains equal 190 cm? What letter size hook did you use. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteFriends, I see the question for "how many chains equal 190 cm?". The answer to that question is not an easy one. Everyone crochets differently. Some people crochet tight and others looser. I just start crocheting a chain and measuring it until it reaches the correct length that the pattern calls for. Hope that helps. :)
ReplyDeletevery simple yet beautiful pattern. Just love it
ReplyDeleteThe scarf is beautiful. I hate to sound dumb, but on row 1, do you double crochet in each chain or just one and turn? Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering that, too. Did you ever get the answer to that question?
DeleteIs this in UK or American terms? Dc in the States is different than European
ReplyDeleteFrom looking at the photo on Ravelry, it looks to be American terms.
DeleteIt must be American because there are no Sc in English terms. Also any amount of chains to start will work because there's no pattern sequence. The first row looks like dc across. It looks gorgeous and I'm just starting now with variegated yarn. Thanks so much for the free pattern
ReplyDeleteI think the admin of this website is truly working hard for his web page, because here every data is quality based information.
ReplyDeleteRow 1 says to dc in 4th chain from hook and then what? instructions say turn?
