QP October 2020 – Dual Weight Scarves

Dual Weight Scarves - Reversible Scarf

In this pattern, there are two scarf options- just in time for the cooler weather! The reversible one is more intermediate and the lacy stripes one is more traditional stripes. Both patterns can be either a straight scarf or an infinity scarf, dependent on preference. What makes this pattern slightly different is that there’s two different yarn weights being worked with. The Hook Nook Yummy yarn is a bit fluffier and thicker. The Hook Hook Small Stuff is thinner and more sleek. The hook is the same size throughout both patterns- what changes is the stitches corresponding to each yarn.

  •  repeat from * to ** for all clusters
  • ch 3 sc in top of ending dc
  • pull long loop of YARN 2 or place stitch holder in loop

Stitches Count: 6 sc with ch between

 

Repeat rows 1-4 until all of Yarn 1 skein is done OR desired length is reached ending on row 4 regardless. Fasten off YARN 1 only. See Finishing section for options. 

Finishing

If an infinity scarf is desired, there’s 2 options with finishing. There can be an additional mesh section featuring ONLY YARN 2 or the scarf can be continuous with the reversible pattern (no gap between where YARN 1 is present). 

If an infinity scarf is NOT desired, you can fasten off YARN 1 and create a thicker border by crocheting more than 1 round of hdc. 

Alternatively, you can work the mesh pattern for the length desired on BOTH ends of the scarf (kind of like fringe) by continuing with the mesh pattern on the top of the scarf as described in the infinity scarf with mesh section and THEN working the mesh pattern off the bottom of the scarf (for symmetry).

Infinity Scarf finishing with NO MESH

If the mesh is NOT desired, row 4 will need to be redone to pick up the foundational ch spaces.

 

Row 4 FINISHING version

  • Ensure there is NO TWIST in the scarf (fold in half is the easiest way). 
  • Continuing with YARN 2- ch 3
  • pick up both the top of beg dc from Row 2 sp AND corresponding ch sp from foundational ch then sc with those two sp
  • ch 3
  • *picking up corresponding ch 5 from Row 3 AND middle dc sp from first cluster AND corresponding foundational row ch where cluster was placed in, sc in sp (pulling ch-5 up into point), ch 5**
  •  repeat from * to ** for all clusters
  • ch 3
  • pick up both the top of ending dc from Row 2 sp AND corresponding ch sp from foundational ch then sc with those two sp. 
  • Do not fasten off.

Stitches Count: 6 sc connecting top of work with base of work). 

Infinity Scarf finishing with MESH

If the mesh is DESIRED, a similar version of row 3 and 4 will be worked until desired length is reached (reserving some yarn for border)

Row 1

  • Continuing with YARN 2
  • ch 2
  • hdc in same sp
  • ch 6
  • skip ch 3 sp
  • hdc in ch-5 sp
  •  (ch 5, hdc in next ch-5 sp) twice
  • ch 6
  • skip next ch-3 sp
  • hdc in ending sp
  • turn

Stitches Count: 5 hdc with ch-sp between

 

Row 2

  • Continuing with YARN 2- ch 3
  • hdc in same sp
  • ch 3
  • (hdc in next ch-5 sp, ch 5) three times
  • ch 3
  • hdc in ending sp
  • turn

Stitches Count: 6 hdc with ch-sp between

 

Repeat Row 1-2 of mesh pattern until desired length is reached. Repeat Row 1 more time THEN: 

 

Finishing row

  • Ensure there is NO TWIST in the scarf (fold in half is the easiest way). 
  • Continuing with YARN 2- ch 1
  • pick up both the same sp in row just worked AND corresponding ch sp from foundational ch then sc with those two sp
  • ch 3
  • *picking up corresponding ch 5 from Row 3 AND corresponding foundational row ch where cluster was placed in, sc in sp, ch 5**
  • repeat from * to ** for all cluster spaces
  • ch 3
  • pick up both the ending sp AND corresponding ch sp from foundational ch then sc with those two sp.
  • Do not fasten off

Stitches Count: 6 sc connecting top of work with base of work

Border for Infinity Scarf

Regardless of how the infinity scarf is finished (mesh or no mesh), the border is worked the same way. 

Border: On both edges, ch 2 then work hdc in spaces around- 2-3 hdc for dc rows, 1-2 hdc for hdc rows, and 1 hdc for sc rows. The number is dependent on preference of the look. When reaching the beg of the starting point after working around, sl st to top of beg hdc and fasten off. 

Finishing Non-Infinity Scarf Version

To create a mesh edging off the bottom of the scarf, continue with mesh pattern as described above. THEN follow the below row pattern to get started with working the mesh pattern off the bottom of the scarf (bottom of the foundation ch/rows)

Beg row for mesh

  • With Yarn 1 side facing away from you, sl st into first sp of foundational ch
  • ch 2
  • hdc in same sp
  • ch 6
  • sk 2 foundation ch sp
  • *hdc in next ch (same sp as sc from YARN 2 foundational work), ch 5, sk 3 foundation ch sp**
  • repeat from * to ** for a total of 3 times
  • ch 6
  • hdc in last foundation ch sp
  • turn

Stitches Count: 5 hdc and ch sp in between

Work mesh rows 1-2 until desired length is reached. Do not fasten off and go right into border work. 

Non-infinity scarf border

Ch 2 then work hdc in spaces around- 2-3 hdc for dc rows, 1-2 hdc for hdc rows, and 1 hdc for sc rows as well as hdc for the same number of ch along top/bottom of scarf.  At corners, add ch 2 before working next side. The number is dependent on preference of the look. When reaching the beg of the starting point after working around, sl st to top of beg hdc and fasten off. 

Size Variations 

If a wider scarf is desired (this means it will be shorter): 

The beg chain is multiples of 4 plus 3. There should be 3 skipped ch between clusters and one skipped ch between the outside clusters and the beg/end dc. The pattern will be the same except extra repetitions will be added throughout.
