Wrapping Up

 Hi, 

Well, Autumn is well and truly here and winter is just around the corner. I used to dread this time of the year but I got to a point where I thought I need to embrace this instead. What a waste of half the year if you are miserable! 

So instead I focus on all the things I love and blot out the things I hate about this time of the year such as miserable dark, rainy days. The first thing I look forward to now is Halloween but mainly for the pumpkins. 

    However, the best thing by far at this time of year is being able to wrap up warm in all things woolly!  I've already shared my crochet earwarmers with you and the pattern for the "Hampton Earwarmers " in my previous post.  So this time I'm going to focus on scarves.

    I do like an infinity scarf and I find these great to quickly crochet up.  These are a few of the scarves I have made and some are available to buy in my Etsy shop. (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Studi0107)

 
    These have all been made using my own pattern called the "Autumn Days Infinity Scarf" which I am happy to share with you.  I have listed the pattern below but if you do want to buy a downloadable version to print then it is, also, available in my Etsy shop.

   Autumn Days Infinity Scarf Pattern

What You Need:-

4mm crochet hook

Northern Lights by James C Brett DK

(Any DK of choice will work or for a thicker scarf use a chunkier yarn but ensure you check the yarn for the correct sized crochet hook)

Wool needle and stitch marker

Abbreviations:-

Chain = ch

Slip Stitch = ss

Half Double Crochet = HDC

Pattern

Chain 170, join with a slipstitch.  Take care not to twist the loop.

Round 1  Ch1, HDC in the same stitch and then round.  DO NOT JOIN but place a stitch marker so you can count the rounds. (170 stitches)

Round 2   HDC in the third loop (see picture below) around to the stitch marker.

Round 3 – Round 37    As Round 2, but when you reach the stitch marker on round finish by slip stitching into the first stitch of the previous round. (If you have used a chunkier yarn then repeat rounds until the scarf measures approx. 8 inches.

Finish:- Use the wool needle to sew ends in neatly.

How to HDC in the third loop:-

Wrap yarn around the hook as you would to complete a normal HDC then insert the crochet hook into the third loop directly behind the front and back loop.

Continue to pull yarn through as you would a normal HDC stitch.

Just a note:-
