Step 1: Attaching the Surface Crochet

In this article, I am going to show you how to attach a surface crochet to a diamond scarf. The diamond scarf pattern can be found in the link below, if you're interested. For this tutorial, I will be using Patron's metallic yarn, which adds a nice lift to the scarf.

Step 2: Working with Right Hand and Left Hand

When attaching surface crochet, it's important to note the positioning of your hands. If you are right-handed, your left hand should be at the back, while your hook in the right hand is at the front. This positioning allows for easier manipulation of the yarn and hook.

Step 3: Creating the Lines

To attach the surface crochet, we will follow the lines of the scarf. Look for the starting points and ending points along the lines. You should have four starting points on one side of the scarf and four ending points on the other side.

Step 4: Starting and Ending Points

Begin the attachment by starting at one of the starting points. Make a slip stitch and continue along the line, making slip stitches into the holes along the way. The slip stitches will create a neat and sturdy surface crochet.

Step 5: Demonstrating the Slip Stitch

Make sure to use slip stitches throughout the attachment process. Slip stitches are easy to make and provide a secure connection to the scarf. Simply insert your hook into the hole, yarn over, and pull the yarn through both loops on the hook.

Step 6: Working with Different Hole Sizes

As you work along the line, you will encounter different hole sizes. There may be larger holes in the middle and smaller holes along the sides. When you come across a larger hole, it's a good idea to add an extra chain after the slip stitch to prevent stretching.

Step 7: Adding Extra Chains

To add an extra chain, make a slip stitch into the larger hole, and then chain one before moving on to the next hole. This technique helps maintain the shape of the scarf and ensures that the surface crochet stays in place.

Step 8: Continuing the Pattern

Continue attaching the surface crochet by following the lines of the scarf. Make slip stitches into the smaller holes and add an extra chain for the larger holes. This pattern will create a beautiful design on the scarf, adding a unique touch to your creation.

In conclusion, attaching surface crochet to a diamond scarf is a simple and effective way to enhance its appearance. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily add a surface crochet pattern to your scarf. Experiment with different yarns and colors to create a truly personalized accessory. Have fun and enjoy the process of creating something unique!
