Stripes


I've received positive feedback about the scarf that I posted in my apples and bracken post and I thought that it would be nice to give you all a pattern for it. This pattern is short and simple and perfect for both the amateur and expert crocheter. I personally really like it for the depth that it gives the piece, as well as the movement that the tassels ensure. Anyways, here it is;
1) Chain whatever width you like plus three
2) In the third chain from the hook, begin your double crochet to the end and turn
3) Chain three, double crochet in the back of the loop to the end and turn
4) Repeat step three till the desired length is reached
5) Stitch the ends together
If you are using a different yarn for each row, simply snip the yarn being used at the conclusion of the row and use the next yarn to chain the beginning of the next row. At the end, tie together the two strings that are closest to one another at the convergence of each row to make a simple tassel. Be sure to leave enough yarn to tie a knot as you can always trim it to the length you like later on.

See, wasn't that simple? So far I've done two; the apple and bracken dyed scarf and this other one that I used yarn dyed with blackberries and a black yarn for. I personally love the contrast between both the texture and the color. It makes for a very beautiful scarf! I hope that you all enjoy this pattern and I would love to see your results.
Much Love, Kenzie
