Long time no blog! To make up for it, I thought I would share this sweet project. A friend of mine (the real hombre of the mojo wire) mentioned wanting a scarf for Christmas and since I never get to make actual scarves, I accepted that challenge. He received it yesterday, so I get to share photos and the pattern, today.
I started it in the car on the way to an out-of-town Christmas party and finished it later that night, at home. It was perfect for chatting in the car and then subsequently for working in front of the TV. I strongly encourage you to make one, if you are in need of a last-minute gift! For the guy and/or lady in your life. Really, I can see it in magenta and mustard for a girl (me!). Jeez, I really wish it weren’t 75 degrees out, today.
Supplies
2 skeins Patons Classic Wool in 2 different colors (medium weight 100% wool, 3.5oz/210 yd per skein)
6 mm (US J) hook
Measures approximately 6″ x 80″, but the woven stitch makes it very stretchy
Pattern
Ch 26
Row 1: SC in 4th ch from hook, *Ch 1, skip 1 ch, SC in next ch; rep from * to end. Ch 3, turn.
Row 2: SC in first ch-1 sp, *Ch 1, SC in next ch-1 sp; rep from * to end, making last SC in the beginning ch-3 of previous row. Ch 3, turn.
Repeat row 2 for pattern. Omit the last Ch-3 on the last row. Finish off, weave in ends.
Color scheme: I used Color #1 for 140 rows, then I switched between Color 1 and Color 2 for 6 rows, and ended with Color 2 for 140 more rows.
very nice! i love the colors and can see if done so many cool ways!
it’s beautiful !
Very sweet!
I like it.
Well I guess I don’t have to spend the weekend finurigg this one out!
I’d like to make it 8″ wide. Can I use multiples of 2 to achieve this width? Thanks!
Yes, that should work!
Thanks so much! :)
What colors did you use? I love them.
I know the dark color was “Mercury”, but I’m not sure what the lighter gray was. Probably “Charcoal heather”.
How do you switch between the two colors?
I just do it the way I normally do, by completing my final Color A stitch with Color B and vice versa.
So you alternated between the two colors every other row for the six transitional rows? I’m sorry if I’m being a pain, I’m kind of new at crochet and still learning. This pattern is simple and fun, but I couldn’t tell from the pictures how the transitional section was done. Thank you so much!
This is a good video for how to switch between colors

I can see LOTS of possibilities with this scarf that I am excited to try!
This is the pattern I was looking for. Thanking for this beautiful scarf

Love this simple beautiful pattern. I’m making mine with bulky weight #5 and a K hook (6.5mm) and it looks great !
Thanks for sharing !
This is a beautiful scarf
In my opinion, 80 inches is too long for a scarf
60 inches is plenty
I liked the look of the two colors combining so much that I increased that to about 20 rows so it’s more noticeable
Where do I switch for color 2? Once I finish the first 140 rows in color 1? I see in this picture that you started combining 6 rows with the 2 colors. So I don’t quite sure what I am supposed to do.
Please let me know! And thanks! It is beautiful!
