Peppermint Stripe Scarf
As you can probably tell by the name of
this scarf, I had visions of peppermint sticks in mind. I tried a
number of ways to make the strips go diagonal, but after starting a
few different designs, I decided that vertical strips would be
better. I really love the way this came out, so I'm sharing it with
you.
Supplies:
1 ball Red Heart Shimmer white
1 ball Red Heart Shimmer red
H size crochet hook
Piece of cardboard or similar item to
wrap your yarn to size the fringe
Yarn needle
Scissors
Scarf Body
Using the white yarn, ch 252. (I like
my scarves really long and this reached about to my knees. You can
make it any length you want, really.)
Row 1: Hdc in third ch from the hook.
Hdc across. Ch 2 and turn.
Row 2: Hdc across. Switch to red yarn.
Ch 2 and turn.
Row 3: Hdc across. Switch to white
yarn. Ch2 and turn.
Row 4: Hdc across. Ch 2 and turn.
Row 5: Hdc across. Switch to red yarn.
Ch 2 and turn.
Row 6-11: Repeat 3-5 twice ending with
the white yarn. Do not fasten off.
Ends and Edging
Sc twice in the same stitch. Sc across
the end of the scarf.
ST across the chain edge of the scarf
until second to last ch st.
Sc three times in last ch st.
Sc across the end of the scarf and
fasten off.
Weave in ends.
Fringe
Wrap yarn around the cardboard piece
until you have enough for your fringe.
Slide off and cut in half. Use three
pieces of yarn for each fringe.
Add a matching color piece of fringe at
the end of each row. That will give you two white fringes, then one
red, then two white, then one red, and so on. Continue until you have
both ends fringed.
