 Just one 100g skein of 4ply makes a nice long crescent-shaped scarf for wrapping with a pretty puff stitch detail.

We planned for the pooling on a skein of Socka from Sparkleduck but it will work well with self-stripings and highly variegated yarns, too.

Size
Wingspan: 165cm/65in
Depth: 23cm/9in
Length is easily adjusted by working more or fewer rows. A deeper scarf can be achieved by working more repeats in the setup section. Altering the size alters the yarn required.

  • 1 100g skein Sparkleduck Socka (4ply, 80% Merino Superwash Wool, 20%nylon, 365m/100g) in Another 48 to Go.
  • 4.5mm (US 7) hook.

Tension
20 sts and 16 rows in pattern to 10cm/4in using 4.5mm hook (or size needed to achieve tension)

Difficulty Rating
Easy

Skills Needed
Basic crochet stitches, working in rows, increasing, missing stitches.

Construction
Started at one end, worked on the bias, an initial increase section is worked followed by a series of wedges that are all the same length.
