Scarf is worked in one piece in an easy lace pattern.2. Stitch pattern includes increases (yarn over (yo)) to compensate for each decrease (sk2p), so the st countshould always remain the same. Be sure to count your sts at the end of each row!SCARFCast on 23 sts. Row 1 (WS): K2 (for border), p to last 2 sts, k2 (for border). Row 2: K3, *yo, k1, sk2p, k1, yo, k1; rep from * to last 2 sts, k2. Row 3: K2, p to last 2 sts, k2. Rep Rows 2 and 3 until piece measures about 57 in. (145 cm). Bind off. FINISHING Weave in ends.

Class No. 451 Lion Brand Yarn Heartland Making Waves #Scarfie Crochet Pattern Number L40586 Skill Level: Easy SIZE: One Size About 10 x 52 in. MATERIALS: Entrant Chooses Color of Yarn Lion Brand Heartland Yarn: Color (A) 1 Ball Lion Brand Heartland Yarn: Color (B) 1 Ball Lion Brand Crochet Hook - Size J-10 (6 mm) Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6) GAUGE: 1 ripple = about 3 1/4 in. (8.5 cm) measured from peak to peak. 6 1/2 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch STITCH EXPLANATION: dc3tog (dc 3 sts together) (Yarn over, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops) 3 times, yarn over and draw through all 4 loops on hook – 2 sts decreased. NOTES: 1. Scarfie is worked in a ripple crochet pattern, beginning and ending with 2 rows of single crochet. 2. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it's important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.3. The ripple pattern consists of alternating 3-dc peaks and dc3tog valleys. Take care to keep the peaks and valleys of each row aligned. 3 dc are worked into the center dc of peaks and dc3tog are worked centered over valleys.4. To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.SCARFIEWith A, ch 38.Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across – at the end of this row you will have 37 sc.Row 2: Ch 1, turn, working through back loops only, sc in each st across.Rows 3-14: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn, working through back loops only, dc in first st, dc in next 4 sts, dc3tog, dc in next 4 sts, *3 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts, dc3tog, dc in next 4 sts; rep from * to last st, 2 dc in last st – 3 ripples.Change to B.Rows 15 and 16: With B, rep Row 3 twice.Change to A.Rep Row 3 changing color as follows:Work 10 rows with A, 4 rows with B, 8 rows with A, 6 rows with B, 6 rows with A, 8 rows with B, 4 rows with A, 10 rows with B, 2 rows with A, and 12 rows with B.Do not change color at the end of the last row, continue with B only.Last 2 Rows: With B, ch 1, turn, working through back loops only, sc in each st across.
