Even though this picture is kind of garbage, you get the idea.
Materials:
Crochet hook size 5.5mm
Two colors of yarn (I used red caron brand and black Red Heart Super Saver)
Pattern:
With color A, chain 26.
Single crochet (SC) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Chain two, turn.
Double crochet (DC) is the third stitch from the hook and in each stitch across. Chain one, turn.
Keep alternating between the two stitches for however big you want the block to be. I did three of each, making sure I ended on a DC row so I could always start the next color with a SC.
When you get to however thick you want it, attach color B to the chain and proceed with the SC in the pattern. Make however many blocks you need for the length you need. When finished, fasten off and then go through and burn the edges of the yarn throughout the scarf.
Voila!
How and why do you burn the edges of the yarn?
ReplyDeleteUsing any kind of lighter, like a cigarette lighter. I burn the edges to melt it together so the edges don't unravel. It won't work for some types of yarn, but the majority of them, such as Red Heart, I Love This Yarn, ect. it'll melt the yarn and not really burn as in, 'I'm gonna catch on fire and burn your entire scarf in two seconds'. If you have a different type of method on how to completely tie off and prevent your project from unraveling, I'd love to hear about it! Lemme know if you have any other questions.
