Sideways Scarf

Sideways Striped Scarf
In an effort to use up the last 150g of some NaturallyCaron Country yarn, I made this skinny stripe scarf for my sister.

By using different colors combined with different heights of stitches, creates varying widths of color stripes.

Items needed:
approximately 150g total of sport weight yarn in 3 colors (A, B, C)
4.00/G hook

Stitches used:
ch/chain sc/single crochet
hdc/half double crochet
dc/double crochet
Notes: Joining new colors with out a slip stitch~In order to avoid having to slip stitch the new color on to the work and having a chain to start, I join new colors as follows~ Tie a slip knot, place hook in the loop, preform indicated stitch in beginning stitch. If the row begins with a sc: insert hook into stitch, draw up loop, yarn over draw through both loops. If the row begins with hdc or dc: yarn over, insert hook in stitch, draw up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops(for hdc, draw through all 3 loops), yarn over, draw through remaining 2 loops.

To be honest, I didn't count the chains to start the scarf. I just chained multiples of 10 till it was long enough to wrap around my neck with about 18" on either side hanging.

To begin:
chain enough to feel comfortable
Row 1) With color A, sc in all stitches, end off
Row 2) With color B, hdc in all stitches, end off
Row 3) With color C, sc in all stitches, end off

Row 11) With color B, sc in all stitches, end off

repeat rows 1-12 until desired width. This stitch pattern can be used for blankets as well.

Enjoy!!
