This scarf pattern is such a fun and simple project that uses two strands of sock weight yarn. Hand dyed yarn is so beautiful and although sock weight yarn is often associated with knitting, it can work up beautifully in crochet projects too. You don’t even need to use the same colourways to make this scarf since you are combining two strands, there is so much room for colour combinations. For this scarf, I used two of the same colourway because I really loved the shades that were in it and was going for a bold statement piece.

Notes:
– This pattern is written in US terms (find a stitch conversion chart here)
– Gauge is rows 1-13 = 4 inches x 6 1/2 inches
– Finished scarf measures approximately 59 inches long and 6 1/2 inches wide
– Turning CH 1 does not count as a stitch throughout
– Working with double stranded yarn is fairly straightforward in simple projects like this one. Instead of making your stitches with one strand, you’ll be using two. Crochet as your stitches as you normally would but be mindful to include the extra strand as you work
– If you would like to make a smaller or larger scarf, CH any number of odd stitches. Please note that adjusting the size will change the yardage amount required
Materials Needed:
– Two hanks of sock weight yarn (#1) (395 yards each is used for this pattern) for a total of 790 yards combined. I used Songbird Yarn & Fibres “Northern Cardinal – Female”

Into the second CH from your hook and each CH across, place 1 SC. CH 1 and turn.

And voila, your scarf is finished! Isn’t it such a simple project? I love this design because it works up quickly and can end up being such a colourful and unique finished piece. It’s a great way to showcase that special hand dyed yarn you picked up and maybe weren’t sure what to make with it. I hope you enjoyed this pattern. Happy crocheting!
