Mossy Dreams of Squares and Bobbles
This scarf is basically worked in three blocks: a open squares block, a cluster block (which I only used near the ends), and a solid block. In my version, I alternated open squares and solid for the body of the scarf, but you can vary the blocks to your taste. It's totally a beginner level pattern, with the only new stitch the cluster stitch, described in detail below. This took me just over two skeins of bulky-weight yarn, but of course that's dependent on how long you want your finished scarf.
Level: Beginner
Yarn: Misti Alpaca Chartreuse Bulky
Hook: G
Row 1: chain 19
Row 2: ch 4 (first tr of row), tr 18
Open Squares Block:
Row 3: ch 4, (chain 2, skip 2, tr)*, repeat *6 times (forming 6 open squares)
Row 4-5: repeat row 3
Clusters Block:
Row 6: ch 2, sc 18
Row 7: ch 4, tr 18
Row 8: ch 4, tr, cluster (*yo, insert hook in stitch, yo and pull up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * 3 times more, yo and draw and through all 5 loops on hook), tr 6, cluster, tr 6, cluster, tr 2
Row 9: dc 18
Row 10: repeat row 8
Row 11: ch 4, tr 18
Row 12: ch 2, sc 18
Open Squares Block:
Row 13: ch 4, (chain 2, skip 2, tr)*, repeat *6 times (forming 6 open squares)
Row 14-15: repeat row 3
Solid Block:
Row 17-19: ch 4, dc 18
Row 20: ch 3, dc 18
Rows 21 -- onwards: repeat open square and solid blocks until desired length is reached, ending with an open square, and leaving length for one more cluster block, open square block. Finish with a row of tr and a row of sc. You're done!
Thanks!! This certainly doesn’t seem complicated, so that’s encouraging.
I liked the tassles from the other scarf you crocheted and I was thinking of incorporating them into this pattern. Can you share how you attach those to the scarf?
Oh, I didn’t do anything — just used a yarn needle to thread them through, and then tied a knot. 🙂
