Scrap Scallops Scarf – Free Crochet Pattern

November 15, 2017 7 Comments

Don't let your favorite scraps go to waste! Crochet the free Scrap Scallops Scarf to elegantly showcase your favorite yarns. Visit handsoccupied.com for the free pattern.
I recently shared a free pattern for a knit men’s infinity scarf, and at a recent knit night, a friend mention how excited she was to make one for her grandfather for Christmas. The holidays are approaching, so I thought now might be a good time to share a free pattern that covers the other end of  the giftable pattern spectrum – a crochet design for women. With something colorful and soft like this, you know who you’ll make this for in a heartbeat, and the design is elegant but doesn’t take a zillion years to make.

This uber-feminine, crochet scarf is not only adorable, but it’s a great way to make use of your finest scrap yarns. The scraps that inspired this scarf are 5 gorgeous colors of Bijou Basin Ranch’s Himalayan Trail that I had leftover from the Delta Hat design process. This gorgeous yarn pairs yak and wool fibers with beautiful colors for a lightweight and super warm finished project. I couldn’t NOT make use of these scraps! Yarn addicts of all stripes (no pun intended) have a bunch of those really nice ends we can’t bear to weed from our stashes. This project might be the product of that particular brand of hoarding, but I’m never going to apologize for my craft stash if it results in a scarf I can’t stop wearing! :)

Here’s how to work a Norwegian purl stitch for e Here’s how to work a Norwegian purl stitch for easier continental style knitting. With this purling method, the working yarn says tensioned (held) at the back of your knitting at all times. For many knitters, always holding the yarn at the back helps with tension issues, as well as feeling a little more comfortable. 
.
Have you ever encountered this style of purling before? If you’ve tried it, have you found it helps with your purl tension and knitting speed? I’m curious.

For a written tutorial, visit handsoccupied-dot-com. For video, you guessed it, You2be. Both of these platforms allow for longer, more in-depth versions of this tutorial, including full transcripts, alt text & the ability to pause, slow down or speed up at will. (Like if you really want to learn this, I recommend using a platform that doesn’t keep your hands occupied. Thinking of putting this in all my captions these days tbh - shout out to you if you made it this far. 🙌🏻😂)

All this recent talk about throwing vs. continental style knitting made it clear many people struggle with purling in continental knitting. Turns out that Norway may have the answer! In Norwegian purling, the working yarn stays tensioned at the back at all times, helping with speed and tension. 🤯

Head to the bl0g (🔗 in bi0) for a more in-depth look at how to work a Norwegian purl stitch, including a photo tutorial with animated GIF & a video tutorial. Wrapping your mind around how to work a stitch you’re familiar with in a totally new way can be confusing, so I tried to give a few options for clarity. 🤙🏻 Video is also on You2be.
