This is a beautiful scarf but as a new crocheter I have a small question regarding the first row of the pattern. After the last double crochet before repeating at the *, am I to skip any stitches? It looks a bit off from my perspective. How many 5 double-crochet fans are there total across?
Thanks!

Hi Bethany,
Thanks for your comment. In the first row you just make 1 dc into the 6th chain from the hook (this counts as 1 dc, 1 chain and then the dc you’ve just made) then you miss 2 chains and make the 5 dc shell in the next chain (so the 3rd chain from the dc you’ve just made. Does that make sense?
If you are doing the wider scarf (chain 62) there will be 7 repeats.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any problems and I’ll try to help.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi, I have a question to expand on Bethany’s question. The image shows one repeat, but I’m confused how they connect. I have done several of the repeats already and the directions say to do the 5 dc shell in the next chain after the last dc in the set. Should there be a skipped chain or two in between? It looks a bit asymmetrical!
Thanks!

Hi Caitlin,
Yes, you should miss 2 chains after the last dc – sorry this isn’t very clear from the written directions – I’ll amend them to make it clearer.
Thanks for pointing it out – and apologies for the confusion!

This looks like a very wonderful scarf… I wonder how it could be changed to work for worsted weight yarn as well? Any suggestions? Thanks so much for posting it!

Hi T,
Sorry for not replying sooner – I’ve been a bit distracted by the arrival of my spinning wheel! Anyhow, as to your question – yes, I think the pattern would work fine in worsted weight – just use a hook size appropriate for your yarn and do fewer pattern repeats… perhaps just start off with 54 chains or even 46 (I think) – you might find it helpful to make a swatch of one pattern repeat to give you an idea of how wide the scarf will be first.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this pattern, the scarf is beautiful! Began last night with a cashmere/merino blend, so soft. I can’t wait until it’s finished.

I’ve made several scarves over the years but they always come out looking homemade. This scarf looks professional. I’m making a few as Christmas gifts
Thank you for the pattern; I feel like I discovered a gem!

I love my home-made purple scarf and the person who made it for me! -makes it even lovelier! but yes, this is a beautiful one and I can imagine it in a finer yarn that would make it dressier…

You’re right; it’s all in the yarn…
