\"lacyshellscarf\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a great use of those single skeins of homespun or boucl\u00e9 or other knobby style yarn you have in your stash. This scarf does not require finding chain stitches, even for the first row. The lacy shells keep the scarf light even with a heavier yarn.<\/p>\n

This pattern was designed to be easy for homespun or boucl\u00e9 style yarns, but it can be made with just about any yarn. Make it in a solid color or with as many color changes as you like.<\/p>\n

The example is made in Red Heart Plush, an Aran weight plush textured yarn.<\/p>\n

Size:<\/strong> The example is 10.5″ by 49″, but can be easily adjusted to make any size.<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/strong>
\nThe example was made with 230.7 yards\/141 grams of Red Heart Plush.
\nSize\u00a0I (5.5mm) crochet hook, but use hook size appropriate to yarn if other yarn is used.<\/p>\n

Abbreviations:<\/strong>
\nch = chain
\nch sp = chain space
\ndc = double crochet
\nsc = single crochet
\ntr = triple crochet<\/p>\n

Special stitch:<\/strong>
\nShell – work the following in the ch sp or over stitch indicated: (1 dc, ch 1) three times, 1 dc<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of a beginning chain, the scarf is begun with a first row of chain and\u00a0tr spaces.<\/p>\n

The example was made with 9 tr\/ch spaces. You can make the scarf narrower or wider by decreasing or increasing the number of tr\/ch spaces.<\/p>\n

Row 1: Ch 5, sc in first ch, (ch 3, tr in last ch sp) odd number of times, ch 3, dc in last ch sp.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Do not turn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Row 2: Ch 1. Without turning the work, sc over dc just made. Working across the tr stitches,\u00a0ch 1, shell over\u00a0first tr, ch 1, ** sc over next tr, ch 1, shell over next tr, ch 1. Repeat from\u00a0** across all the tr stitches. Sc in ch 5 sp at end of row.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Row 3: Ch\u00a04 and turn. Sc in first ch-1 sp of first shell, ch 3, sc in third ch-1 sp of same shell, ** ch 3, sc in first ch-1 sp of next shell, ch 3, sc in third ch-1 sp of same shell. Repeat from ** across all the shells. Ch 2, dc in ch space from row before shell row.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Row 4: Ch 1 and\u00a0turn. Sc in ch-2 sp. Ch 1, shell in first ch-3 sp, ch 1, ** sc in next ch-3 sp, ch 1, shell in next ch-3 sp, ch 1. Repeat from ** across all the ch-3\u00a0spaces. Sc in ch\u00a04 sp at end of row.<\/p>\n

Repeat row 3 and 4 until scarf is desired length.<\/p>\n

For straight sides – End with a\u00a0row 3.\u00a0Finish off and weave in end.<\/p>\n

For scalloped sides – You will need to have an odd number of shell rows. End with a row 4. In same ch sp, ch 1, shell, ch 1, sc. Working across the ch-4 spaces on the side, (ch 1, shell in next ch-4 sp, ch 1, sc in next ch-4 sp). At the last ch-4, after the\u00a0sc, also work, ch 1,\u00a0shell, ch 1, sc. Working across bottom of afghan in the ch-3 spaces, (ch 1, shell in next ch-3 sp, ch 1, sc in next ch-3 sp).\u00a0After the last sc, in same sp also work, ch 1, shell, ch 1, sc. Working across last side of dc stitches, \u00a0(ch 1, over next dc, ch 1, sc\u00a0over next dc). At last corner also work, ch 1, shell, ch 1. Join with sc from the beginning of the last row 4. Finish off and weave in end.<\/p>\n

The scarf can be made in a solid color or can be made with any number of color changes. The best way to make a color change is to finish all but the very last pull through of the two loops of the last stitch of a row. Cut yarn with a few inches of tail and join with new color next to stitch. Pull new color through last two loops. Weave in ends.<\/p>\n
