Instructions for Making the Castal Colorwork Scarf Pattern:
Scarf Construction
The scarf is worked lengthwise, starting with a foundation chain.
- Beginning the Scarf:
- With Yarn A (Washington Denim Celestial Stripes), chain (ch) 176. This forms your starting foundation.
- Row 1 (Right side):
- Work one single crochet (sc) into the second chain from your hook.
- Continue to work one sc in each chain stitch across the entire row.
- At the end of this row, you will have 175 sc.
- Row 2:
- Chain (ch) 1, then turn your work.
- Working in Front Loop Only (flo), work one sc in each stitch across the row.
- Row 3:
- Chain (ch) 1, then turn your work.
- Working in Back Loop Only (blo), work one sc in each stitch across the row.
- Change to Yarn B:
- After completing Row 3, change to Yarn B (Aspen Tweed).
- Row 4:
- With Yarn B, chain (ch) 4. This chain of 4 stitches counts as your first treble (tr) stitch.
- Turn your work.
- Working in Front Loop Only (flo), work one tr in each stitch across the row.
- Change to Yarn A:
- Once Row 4 is finished, change back to Yarn A.
- Row 5:
- With Yarn A, chain (ch) 1.
- Working in both loops (standard crochet), work one sc in each stitch across the row.
- Turn your work.
- Repeating the Pattern:
- To continue building the scarf, repeat Rows 2-5.
- After completing this sequence of repeats, repeat Rows 2 and 3 once more.
- Last Row:
- The final row of the scarf is a repeat of Row 2.
- Once this last row is completed, fasten off your yarn.
Finishing
After the scarf body is crocheted, the next step is to add the fringe and weave in any loose ends.
- Preparing Fringe:
- For each individual fringe, you will need to cut 1 strand of Yarn A and 1 strand of Yarn B, with each strand measuring approximately 8 inches (20.5 cm) long.
- Hold these two strands together and fold them in half.
- Attaching Fringe:
- Using your crochet hook, draw the folded loop of the fringe strands through the end of the Scarf.
- Once the loop is through, pull the loose ends of the fringe through this loop.
- Pull firmly to tighten the fringe securely to the scarf.
- Placement and Trimming:
- You will make 20 fringes on each end of the Scarf.
- Ensure the fringes are spaced evenly along both ends.
- After all fringes are attached, trim the ends of the fringe evenly to create a neat finish.
- Final Touches: Finally, weave in any remaining loose ends using your large-eyed blunt needle.
