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! :)

row 2. Ch3 (counts as dc), dc1 in first sc, [ch2, skip next 3 dc, sc1 in next dc, ch2, skip next 3 dc**, (dc1, ch1, dc1) in next sc]; rep from [ to ] ending last rep at **, then  dc 2 in last sc. Turn.

Rep rows 2-5, changing color however you like (or however your yarn scraps dictate). Note: I changed my color every time I started row 4 of this pattern repeat. 

When you’re finished, break yarn & draw tail through to secure. Weave in all ends and wet block to finish.

When it’s August & the crew has the day off, the When it’s August & the crew has the day off, the only thing to do is a Knitflix marathon! I hadn’t seen the latest season of Stranger Things and had a TON of knitting to do, so we decided why not make a day of it? For non knitters, this is a pretty accurate depiction of what a dream day looks like for maker types. (Plus or minus a cranky but cute house pet.)

What does your dream knitting day look like?

Just making this for fun & to see how it feels to distill a yarn day into a short video like this. Big thank you to Jamie & Mariah for being my friends, even though they said “it’s okay if you don’t tag me in this.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitti I think about the wrong side of my intarsia knitting kind of like some embroiderers do: I get (probably too) excited when the back’s neat and tidy. Are you this way? Is it just me? 
.
Pictured is the wrong side of a large primary color intarsia swatch I knit for an upcoming design in @brooklyntweed Arbor. When I pulled it from my studio, I thanked my former self for talking the time to knit, weave in ends, & block a clean swatch already. As critical as they are, I’m excited to not have to make one today. I’ll advocate for swatching all day long, but I won’t pretend it’s like the funnest step in the process! 😆🧶
