Crochet the Terra Nova Scarf

The Terra Nova scarf is a beautiful and cozy crochet pattern designed to complement the Terra Nova beanie. This scarf features a simple stitch that creates a textured look, highlighted in different color blocks. It is a versatile accessory that can be worn on both sides. In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create your own Terra Nova scarf.

1. Introduction

Welcome to Bridge Textures Crochet! In this tutorial, we will learn how to crochet the Terra Nova scarf. This pattern is perfect for crocheters of all skill levels and is a great project for those looking to practice their stitching techniques. The scarf is made using a medium worsted weight acrylic yarn called Wander, which gives it a soft and luxurious feel.

2. Materials and Tools

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials and tools you'll need for this project:

• 5 balls of medium worsted weight acrylic yarn (approximately 600 yards in total)
• Crochet hook (5.5mm)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle

3. Getting Started

To start crocheting the Terra Nova scarf, we'll begin by making a slip knot and creating a foundation chain. The scarf is approximately 8.5 inches wide and 70 inches long, but you can adjust the size by chaining an even multiple of stitches. For this tutorial, we will chain 32 stitches.

4. Pattern Instructions

The pattern for the Terra Nova scarf follows a simple two-row repeat. Let's break it down step by step:

4.1 Foundation Chain

Make a slip knot and chain 32 stitches.

4.2 Row 1: Slip Stitch and Half Double Crochet

Starting from the second chain from the hook, work one slip stitch followed by a half double crochet. Repeat this pattern across the row until you reach the end. Make sure to keep your slip stitches loose for future rows.

4.3 Row 2: Slip Stitch and Half Double Crochet (Continued)

Chain one and turn your work. In this row, you'll repeat the same pattern as Row 1: slip stitch in the first slip stitch, followed by a half double crochet in the next half double crochet. Repeat this pattern across the row.

4.4 Repeating the Pattern

Continue working Row 2 for a total of 30 rows, alternating between slip stitches and half double crochets. Once you've completed 30 rows, switch to your next color yarn according to your desired color block sequence.

5. Changing Colors

To change colors in the middle of your crochet project, simply insert your hook into the final slip stitch of the current color, drop the old color, and pick up the new color yarn. Pull the new color yarn through to secure it. Chain one and turn your work to continue with the new color.

6. Finishing the Scarf

Follow the color pattern and repeat the stitch pattern for each color block, working a total of 30 rows in each color. Once you've completed all the color blocks, fasten off your yarn, and weave in any loose ends. Your Terra Nova scarf is now complete!

7. Variations and Customizations

Feel free to experiment with different colors and yarn combinations to create a unique look for your Terra Nova scarf. You can also add a fringe or other embellishments to personalize it further.

8. Care Instructions

It's important to take care of your crochet projects to ensure their longevity. To keep your Terra Nova scarf looking its best, hand wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid twisting or wringing the scarf to prevent distortion.
