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.

Instagram post 18043011205209234 Happy weekend, everyone! There are several new faces today, so to you, I say welcome! 😊 I’m Heidi, the knitting, crochet and yarn crafts designer behind Hands Occupied. I’m based in Chicago, where I work out of a small studio space, the Hands Occupied Studio. Every week I host an open Craft Night and on the last Sunday of the month we have a Crafternoon. They’re all free and open to anyone who wants to hang out and craft with others (snacks are always welcome!). .
.

A little about me: I’m a knit and crochet pattern designer, but I’m really about all things string, from crochet to macramé. Lately I’ve been particularly obsessed with contemporary latch hook and punch needle trends. However, in my recent handmade wardrobe projects I’ve been drawn to everything vintage. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Funny how that works! 😆.
.

In addition to the blog, design work, and the Studio, I co-host the Very @seriouscrafts Podcast, a top 10-ranked crafts podcast heading into our third season in 2020! 🎙 That about covers it - thanks so much for indulging a long caption 🙏🏼 , and I’m so glad to have you here! ☺️❤️💛💙 #handsoccupied #veryseriouscrafts
