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.

Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches Finally organizing & putting the finishing touches on my home studio. After losing my studio space last fall, it’s feels really great to *occupy* this new space all the way. 😉
.
I started by removing general clutter & returning straggler supplies from various WIPs, videos & design deadlines to their homes. Next, I hung a third peg board in the space - this one is mostly for display and less for organizing tools or projects. For the first time ever, I’m displaying projects from my book, plus a couple other faves. (The best thing about designing more yarn crafts besides knit & crochet is that I have some really fun -and delightfully pettable 😆- samples around.) I finished by adding a square dowel to my small supply storage tower to keep it from tipping over, plus re-arranging and de-cluttering the closet. 
.
This cleaner space already has me feeling so much more creative and less overwhelmed. Now to find a safe spot in the basement for the tower of project samples in Rubbermaid tubs I liberated from my WIPs closet. Also why are there five?! 
.
Here’s to keeping it clean for a few weeks! 🧶

Sweater knitters, listen up! Learn how to knit a buttonhole over the course of a single row of knitting, a.k.a. a one-row buttonhole. In this technique, a combination of binding off and casting on stitches on opposite sides of the work creates a symmetrical, stretchy buttonhole. 
.
The time limit on these is 90 seconds, so this quick tutorial is perfect to save for future reference. (Did you know you can make folders of saved items like tutorials? 👩🏼‍🏫)

If you’re brand new to the technique or want to see this demonstration slower and more in-depth, my bl0g and You/2be are the place to be. Thanks for watching & let me know if you have any questions or requests for future tutorials in the comments. ☺️

I also put some time into neglected design projects, in particular the pattern collection I began working on back in 2022. As I work on the samples, you’ll be seeing some sneak peeks here and there in my feed. ☺️

The other thing occupying my time: I got an iPad to try digital planning and keep my design notes more organized, not to mention digitized. (Paper scribbling just ain’t it after 12 years.) If anyone has tips for how to make the most of digital planning as a crafter / knitter, I’d love to hear them! Accounts to follow, apps, must-know hacks for crafters - I’m excited to learn it all! 👩🏼‍🏫
