Find a printer-friendly, PDF version of Entangled Scarf below!

ABOUT

Skill Level:

Advanced Beginner

Pattern Notes:

When stitches appear between * and *, repeat until the end, unless otherwise indicated

When stitches appear between ( and ), work those stitches in the same stitch indicated

Because you skip the last DC and SC (or SC and DC) at the end of each row, each row gets shorter, leaving a staircase-looking edge

The piece is shaped like a long isosceles trapezoid (math is fun!)

COMPONENTS

Materials:

4 skeins Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Jam Cookie

Size M/13 (US) / 9 mm crochet hook

Tapestry needle

Finished Measurements:

12 inches wide x 84 inches long at the longer edge (excluding tassels)

Gauge:

6.5 sts x 8 rows = 4 inches (in SC)

STITCH ABBREVIATIONS

Ch – chain

SC – single crochet

DC – double crochet

WS – wrong side

INSTRUCTIONS

Scarf:

Ch 152

Row 1: 1 DC in 2ndch from hook, *ch 1, skip next ch, 1 SC in next ch, 1 DC in next ch,* turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, skip 1stDC and SC, (1 DC, 1 SC) in next ch space, *ch 1, (1 DC, 1 SC) in next ch space,* through last ch space, leaving last DC and SC unworked, turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, skip 1stSC and DC, (1 SC, 1 DC) in next ch space, *ch 1, (1 SC, 1 DC) in next ch space,* through last ch space, leaving last SC and DC unworked, turn.

Repeat Rows 2-3 seven more times (eight repeats total).

Tassels:

A video tutorial for attaching the tassels is available here, or written instructions are below.

Cut the remaining yarn you have into 15” pieces until you have 90 pieces to form the tassels. You will need 18 tassels total, with 9 tassels per side, and 5 pieces of string per tassel.

The tassels are attached to the ch space closest to the edge of the row. Tassels are only attached to the odd numbered rows (i.e. the first row, the last row, and alternating rows in between).

To attach a tassel, fold the 5 pieces of string in half, creating a loop in the middle. With the WS of the work facing, put the loop through the ch space, inserting it from the bottom of the work to the top of the work. Pull the tassel ends through the loop and pull tight.
