Victorian Scarf



 



     The colors of this scarf reminded me of something you would wear in the early 1900s. The pattern is very easy to work up. And with the Holidays right around the corner, this scarf would make a very nice gift you could finish in an afternoon.

 

Supplies:
     5.00 mm crochet hook
     Burgundy worsted weight yarn
     Antique White worsted weight yarn
     * colors are based on Red Heart Super Saver yarn

Abbreviations Used:

     ch --- chain
     dc --- double-crochet
     sk --- skip
     st/sts --- stitch/stitches
     slp st --- slip stitch
     sc --- single-crochet
     trc --- triple-crochet

Notes:
     --- For a different look, you could use a dark blue or purple in place of the Burgundy yarn.

 

~Pattern~

     Using the Burgundy yarn, ch 21.

          sk next st, 5trc in next st, slp st in last st
          6 shells created
     Fasten off.

Border Row 2:
     Repeat the process for Border Row 1 on the other short edge of the Scarf.
 

Finishing:
     Tie off and trim all loose threads.
     The ends of the scarf may look a little flared, but that's okay. If you don't like it, you could always block the entire Scarf so everything is even.
