Instructions for Making the Blanket Scarf Pattern:

Starting the Blanket Scarf

To begin your “Fun & Modern Blanket Scarf,” first, ensure you are holding two strands of Colour A yarn together.

• Foundation Chain: Ch 60.

Working the Linen/Moss Stitch

Once your foundation chain is complete, you will begin working the Linen/Moss stitch pattern:

• Row 1: Sc in the 4th ch from the hook. Then, repeat the following sequence across the row: [ch 1, skip a ch, sc 1 into the next ch]. After completing the sequence across, Ch 2 and turn. You should have 58 sts at the end of this row.
• Row 2 (Repeat Row): Sc in the first ch space. Then, repeat the following sequence across the row: [ch 1, sc into the next ch space]. After completing the sequence across, Ch 2 and turn. You should maintain 58 sts for this row.
• Note: It’s important to remember that the last sc of each row is placed in the space between the sc and the ch 2 turning chain from the previous row.

Color Transition Sequence

The “Fun & Modern Blanket Scarf” features engaging color transitions. You will repeat Row 2 for specific lengths with different color combinations.

Follow this sequence for your color changes:

• Work with Colour A: Continue repeating Row 2 until your scarf measures 12 inches with Colour A.
• Transition to Colours A & B: At this point, leave one strand of Colour A attached and introduce one strand of Colour B. You will now be holding one strand of Colour A and one strand of Colour B together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 8 inches using these two colors. This creates the smooth color blend.
• Work with Colour B: Next, cut Colour A (the remaining strand) and bring in another strand of Colour B. You will now be holding two strands of Colour B together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 12 inches with Colour B.
• Transition to Colours B & C: Then, cut one strand of Colour B and introduce one strand of Colour C. You will be holding one strand of Colour B and one strand of Colour C together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 8 inches with this combination.
• Work with Colour C: After that, cut Colour B (the remaining strand) and bring in another strand of Colour C. You will now be holding two strands of Colour C together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 12 inches with Colour C.
• Transition to Colours C & D: Next, cut one strand of Colour C and introduce one strand of Colour D. You will be holding one strand of Colour C and one strand of Colour D together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 8 inches with this combination.
• Work with Colour D: Finally, cut Colour C (the remaining strand) and bring in another strand of Colour D. You will now be holding two strands of Colour D together. Continue repeating Row 2 for 12 inches with Colour D.

Upon completing the final Colour D section, your scarf should approximately measure 72 inches long. The final dimensions of the scarf will be 15 inches wide by 72 inches long. If you wish to modify the width of your scarf, remember that you will need to start with a chain multiple of 2.

Finishing Your Scarf

Once the scarf reaches the desired length:

• Fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. Weaving in ends securely helps to maintain the scarf’s appearance and prevent unraveling.

Adding Fringes (Optional)

You can choose to add fringes or tassels to both ends of your scarf for an extra decorative touch. The original pattern suggests adding 5-inch fringes.

To add your fringes:

• Cut yarn strands: Cut multiple 6-inch lengths of yarn. You can wrap your yarn around a notebook, a ruler, or any other suitable tool to help you cut many strands at once. After wrapping, carefully cut one side of the wrapped yarn to create individual strands.
• Attach fringes: The pattern suggests attaching 4 strands of yarn to each fringe. Place the fringes about 2 stitches apart from each other along the ends of the scarf.
• Trim fringes: Once all your fringes are attached, lay the end of the scarf flat. Use a rotary cutter or sharp scissors to cut them all straight, creating a neat and even finish.
