finished scarf on girlThis scarf is unique, unusual and so easy to make. People will rave about your "mad skills". You don't have to tell them how simple it was. I won't.

This scarf is comprised of 3 simple double crochet strips braided together. I think it looks very dramatic when finished. The possibilities for color combinations are endless. Have fun!

Total Time: About 3 hours.

Source: A picture of a scarf I saw online.

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. With your Red Heart worsted yarn and J hook, ch 100. 1 dc in 4th ch from hook and each across till end.
  2. Ch 3, turn. 1 dc in each dc across till end.
  3. Repeat last row 3 more times. Finish off, weave in ends.
  4. With your Unforgettable Boutique yarn and J hook, ch 116. *The reason you are chaining more with this yarn is because it is thinner than typical worsted. You need to do this so that this strip is more similar in size to your first. If you are using the same worsted for each strip, you would chain the same.

  6. 1 dc in 4th ch from hook and each chain till end.
  7. double crochet in chain
     
  8. *Please note that I worked my stitches into BOTH loops. The reason for this is that it will give you a finished and neat looking edge.
  9.  
  10. Ch 3, turn. 1 dc in each stitch till end.
  11. Repeat last row 4 more times. Finish off, weave in ends. *You have worked 1 more row with this yarn simply to match the size of the classic worsted strip.
  12. You will now make a second strip with your boutique yarn exactly as you did the first. The only difference is, you will not finish your yarn off. You will use your working yarn to crochet your strip ends together. Okay?

Whenever I am braiding a craft I use a clip board to hold the top. Makes it easier to have get a clean, even braid.
