I made the pictured Soft as Lamb scarf for my sister.
It's a light fluffy scarf that has a nice drape due to using a larger hook size than called for with worsted weight yarn. I'm happy with the end result, but it was a bit quirky to make trying to get both sides symmetrical.
I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease in Wheat that I had stored in my stash. I thought the natural color would go with a lot of things and in that sense, she would get a lot of use out of it. It's not a Christmas present, just a "sisterly" gift and I'll give it to her next time I see her.
So with all that being said, here are the instructions for my scarf:
Soft as Lamb Scarf
by Heather P.
6.5 oz (approx.) Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Lion Brand's Wool-Ease in Wheat)
K hook
Stitches used:
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
sl st - slip stitch
Small Shell = (2 sc, ch 2, 2 sc)
Large Shell = (3 sc, ch 2, 3 sc)
Scarf is worked lengthwise
Ch 170 (multiples of 3 + 2 for beginning ch)
- Small shell in 2nd ch from hook, *sk 2 ch, small shell in next ch, repeat from * across to end (total of 57 small shells). Working in same st as last small shell, you will begin row 2.
- Small shell in same loop as the small shell you just completed in row 1 (this will make a little circle and you'll now be on the other side of your original chain), *small shell in the next single loop created by the shell on the opposite side of your work, repeat from * across (total of 57 small shells), sl st in next sc, ch 1, do not turn work.
- Small shell in ch-2 sp, and in each ch-2 sp across (total of 57 small shells), sl st in next 2 sc, ch 1, do not turn work (first side of edging is complete).
- Small shell in ch-2 sp, and in each ch-2 sp across (total of 57 small shells), ch 1, turn.
- Repeat row 4 until scarf measures 5 inches, ch 1, turn.
- Large shell in ch-2 sp, and in each ch-2 sp across (total of 57 large shells), ch 1, turn (this is the first row of edging for the other side of your work).
- Repeat row 4 (as written with the small shells).
- Repeat row 4 (as written with the small shells); fasten off.

So very pretty, Heather!! I may have to come back here in the future to grab this pattern when I'm not knee-deep into Christmas. :) Do you have a pattern link thingy in your sidebar, I'm wondering? I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder of Tortilla Soup... guess what I'm off to thaw? lol
Have a lovely day, and feel free to visit me at my new place: http://happiestathome.blogspot.com.
Blessings,

This is great Heather. I think I will make it today. :) Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool scarf Heather, thanks for the pattern. I think I'll make this with one of my hats for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies for your nice comments. Like I mentioned, it was really quirky to make, but it gives me practice writing things up.
ReplyDeleteShani, thank you for your link and for the side bar idea. I'll stop by your blog today. :-)
It is beautiful! I can't wait to pick
ReplyDeleteit up! .......and wear it! :)
Thank you, Heidi
Very pretty scarf Heather - thanks for sharing your pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm agreeing with everyone here--very pretty scarf Heather. I'm saving the pattern and it goes on my never end list of all the pretties I'd like to make!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog! I love your little site...this is a very nice blog and you are very talented!! WOW!
Kisses,
JennyMay
Thank you Debi, Sharon Marie and JennyMay. I appreciate it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it Heidi and I hope you'll get lots of good use out of it. :-)
That is so pretty and it does look very soft, I loved how you folded it at the end and tied the ribbon on it adds a nice touch to it :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn. :-) I hope you have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHeather, this is a BEAUTIFUL scarf. I am going to have to try it. Thanks for sharing as always!!!
ReplyDeleteHeather, this scarf is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed look soft as a lamb.
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing the pattern with us.
Much love,

Thank you Clara and Anita! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust a question... In step two, will I be doing small shells in every loop, as the directions would suggest, or will I repeat step one to end up with 57 small shells, just as row one was completed? :S I'm still new to anything other than double crochet!
ReplyDeleteHi Cookie, in row 2, you'll only be making the small shell in the single loop created by the shell on the opposite side of your work. You'll have a total of 57 small shells when you complete this row. You are working on the opposite side of your chain...I hope that makes sense....I'll try to make this more clear. Thank you for stopping by and let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great evening! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat certainly makes a lot more sense than what I was picturing as I was reading, and now that I've started in on the first row, I can clearly see what you're talking about. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!

I like how you used that part of the fence to show the scarf. Very nice. The snow in the back ground reminds of just how much i need a scarf.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline. Thanks for the nice comment and for stopping by! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice scarf pattern, I just might give this one a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you'll have to let me know how it turns out, would love to see it. Have a great day! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, I just found you today. Love your scarf, I will definately be making this one for myself. Have a great day:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice compliment. I hope you have a great day as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, I have just found this pattern and couldn't resist starting the scarf. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am working on this scarf now! I'm a fairly new crocheter, bu t so far I'm doing it! Just a quick question before I get too far in. How long is your scarf? Mine seems pretty short. Thank"
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, thank you for your nice comment. The first scarf I made I gave away as a gift, but I did make one for myself using I Love This Yarn and it measures 72 inches. I crocheted this loosely and ILTY seems to be a thicker worsted weight yarn. Hope that helps and good luck. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you......I just started this scarf, and while I am going to make one full size, I have just finished the first rnd (rows 1 and 2) and realized what a great skinny scarf that makes. :) I'm going to continue with the full pattern with the variegated I'm using and then I'm going to make
ReplyDeletethe "skinny" size in a solid color.
Thanks for sharing the pattern, I was looking for a "fancy" scarf to make for the secret santa christmas gift giving at work and this will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your pattern, I am going to make this for the secret santa gift giving at work it looks great! Could you recommend a crochet hat pattern that wouldn't be too hard and would compliment the scarf?
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I don't have a particular hat in mind, but I'm sure you could find one you liked via this link below. Or, one of the yarn company web sites that offer free patterns. Best wishes and thank you for your kind comments. http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/hats.php
DeleteHeather this is beautiful, I have not started it yet but was wondering if this could be made into an infinty scarf by joing the ends and crocheting in a round. Thanks. gelswood@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHi Grandma, thank you for your nice comment. This particular scarf couldn't be worked in the round due to the way it is constructed, but you could slip stitch the short ends together once it's complete to make an cowl. Hope that helps and thank you again for your nice comment. Heather
