Pattern Instructions
Row 1: Foundation Chain
To start, create a slip knot with your color A yarn. Then, work a foundation chain of 41 stitches. Ensure that you have 41 stitches in your chain.
Rows 2-8: Chevron Stitch
From row 2 onward, we will be using the Chevron Stitch to create the textured pattern of our scarf. Follow these steps for rows 2-8:
- Working in the back loop only, begin by working a single crochet two together over the first two stitches.
- Next, work a single crochet in the back loop only of each of the next 4 stitches.
- In the chain 2 space, work a single crochet, chain 2, and another single crochet.
- Continue by working a single crochet in the back loop only of each of the next 5 stitches.
- Skip the next 2 stitches and repeat steps 3 and 4 until you reach the end of the row.
- Chain 1 and turn your work.
Repeat these steps for rows 3-8, making sure to work in the back loop only for each stitch. This will create the chevron pattern of your scarf.
Changing Colors
To add visual interest to your Horizon Scarf, you can change colors at the end of each row. To switch colors, follow these steps:
- At the end of row 8, insert your hook into the next stitch with your color A yarn.
- Yarn over and drop a loop.
- Insert your hook into the next stitch with your color A yarn and drop a loop.
- Place your color B yarn on your hook and pull through. This will change your yarn color to color B.
Continue working rows 2-8, changing colors as desired. You can create your own unique stripe pattern or follow the random stripes generator pattern provided on richtexturescrochet.com.
Customizing the Pattern
Feel free to customize the pattern according to your preferences. You can adjust the length of your scarf by working more or fewer rows. Additionally, you can experiment with different color combinations to create a truly one-of-a-kind accessory.
Finishing the Scarf
Once you have worked the scarf to your desired length (approximately 57 inches), you can choose to fasten off or add some tassels for a decorative touch. If you decide to add tassels, simply follow these steps:
- Cut several lengths of yarn (approximately 8-10 inches each).
- Fold each length in half and attach them to the points of the scarf using a yarn needle.
- Trim the ends of the yarn to achieve a uniform tassel length.
With your tassels in place, your Horizon Scarf is now complete and ready to be worn with pride!
Additional Options: Adding Tassels
Adding tassels to your Horizon Scarf can enhance its beauty and give it a playful touch. By following the steps mentioned above, you can attach tassels to the points of your scarf. Feel free to experiment with different colors for the tassels to add even more vibrancy to your creation.
