On My Hook...

NOTE:
Unfortunately, the Branching Leaves Scarf pattern is no longer available and I did not keep a copy of what I printed in which to crochet the scarf.  

If you are looking for a free scarf pattern, you might like to try Crochet Pattern Central or one of the yarn brand web sites.  

Best wishes!


I've been crocheting a lot of scarves lately.  It's a nice change from large afghan work...


I started working on this last night.  It's one I've had saved in my "favorites" for a long time.  It's called Branching Leaves Scarf .  The pattern is done as a chart.  The stitch symbols are easy to pick up and can be learned quickly. 

My scarf doesn't look like much yet and I may decide to go down a hook size.  This is a "G" and I'm thinking it may look better if I use an "F"....we'll see.  I'll play around with it some more.  I'm also using Paton's Classic Wool in Woodrose Heather.  This yarn is really nice; very soft.  I received this yarn as a gift from a nice lady in one of my crochet groups.  I've had it stored away for just the right project, and I think I found it!

Joy in newness and discovering new ways of doing the things I love!

  1. What a sweet little vignette of crafty and homey goodness. :) We get tons of Japanese crochet books in the craft store here. If I could follow a chart, I would buy them -- but I can't always follow a regular pattern and get it right. Ha! Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy

  3. Very pretty and the color is nice too. A wider scarf might be warmer outside but if you want to wear it indoors a narrower one might work out. Make it smaller or keep using the same hook--I think either way would be nice.

  4. Very, very pretty and love the color. I think I have the same somewhere around here too. Love scarves as you say a bit of a break from the norm.

  5. How lovely! Do you by any chance have the pattern saved? I have been trying to locate it for some time now.

  6. Hi DeeringFamily, I did not save the pattern and from what I understand it's been removed from Ravelry due to copyright issues. Sorry I'm not able to help.

  7. I have the pattern but I'm having trouble with it - what rows do you repeat to make it continue - all of them, some of them, ? HELP! someone! I love it so and want to try to understand the graph better.

  8. Hi Deborah Misfit, I don't have the pattern any longer, but I do remember wondering the same thing myself. If I remember correctly, once the leaves start to form, you can start to tell which row to go back to in order to start your repeat. I hope that helps and good luck.
