Bloomingtails Scarf

Bloomingtails 2BloomingtailsBloomingtails3


This simple design capitalizes on the innovative beauty of the Bloom yarn.  The yarn does the work for you!  Crochet this striking scarf in one relaxing evening.


You’ll need:



  • 1 skein of “Bamboo Bloom Handpaints” by Universal Yarn

  • Size I crochet hook

  • Tapestry needle


Finished Measurements


40” long, 3.5” wide (tube)


Pattern Notes



  • You will crochet a strip, then seam it together to form a tube.  Then you will attach fringe to the seam.  To wear, pull the fringe through the tube.

  • The tube is crocheted in linen stitch.  To make the linen stitch, you will alternate crocheting in the back and front loops of the stitch.


Abbreviations



  • Ch: chain

  • Sc: single crochet

  • Blsc: crochet through the back loop only of the stitch

  • Flsc: crochet through the front loop only of the stitch

  • St: stitch


Crochet the Tube


1. Chain 15.


2. Sc in each stitch across (14 sts)


3. Ch 1.  *blsc in next st, flsc in next st.  Repeat from * to end of row.  Turn.


4. Repeat row 3 until piece measures 8”.


5. Seam short ends together, creating the tube.


Make the Fringe


1. Cut 50 pieces of yarn 2 yards long.  (I find it easiest to cut a 2 yard piece of different yarn to use as a template.)


2. Attach fringe in 5 groups of 10 pieces evenly spaced across the seam of the tube.


3. Knot the end of each piece of fringe for a more finished look.


Block, wrap around your neck, and pull fringe through the tube.  Luscious and easy!
