Pattern #8 - V-Stitch Scarf

Materials:

  • 2 skeins of your favorite yarn
  • crochet hook to match the weight of your yarn

Gauge: n/a

Special stitches:

  • V-stitch = (dc, ch 1, dc) in designated stitch
  • Chain 3 = first dc of next row

Instructions:

This pattern can be worked in any yarn you like. The finer the yarn, the softer the resulting fabric, and the more drape you'll have. You can also work it to any dimensions you like. I went with about 8" wide, and 70" long (I like long scarves, and we are a family of tall people).

  1. Make a chain of multiple of 2, plus 1 stitch. If you prefer a foundation row to start, make a foundation single crochet row of an even number of stitches, and about 8" long, then chain 3 and skip to step 3.
  2. Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook, then each chain across; chain 3 and turn.
  3. Skip first 2 sc (beginning chain counts as first dc, then skip another stitch) and make a V-stitch. *Skip one stitch, V-stitch; repeat from * to last two stitches. Make a dc in the last stitch; chain 3 and turn.
  4. Repeat step 3 for the length desired. When you are ready to end, finish with a ch-1 and turn.
  5. Last row: sc in first dc, skip next dc, sc in ch-1 space, * skip next 2 dc, sc in ch-1 space; repeat to last V-stitch, sc in last dc. You should end up with one less sc than the number you started with on the first row. If you like, you can add it somewhere in the middle of the row, or you can leave it as is.
  6. (Optional) If desired, you can add a fringe to both ends.
I worked my scarf in two colors, and changed colors after 7 rows of V-stitch because it looked like square-shaped blocks. Feel free to follow your own preference regarding colors.

Project #5 - Susquehanna University scarves

Started: Before 10/1/2023 Finished: 10/24/2023 My youngest daughter is attending Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania, and I am so proud of her. But she was born and raised in South Carolina - winter is going to be cruel for her. I decided to make her scarves in her school colors - maroon and orange. I had the hardest time finding yarn for the project, but ended up with Bernat Softee Chunky in Pumpkin and Wine. It was quite a bit more expensive than I wanted, but it was worth it. [image] Her roommate has been very generous and a great friend to her, so I decided to make a scarf for her, as well. My other daughter is visiting Pennsylvania this weekend, so I had to hurry up and finish the scarves for her to take along. I decided to go with a V-stitch for the first one . I love the V-stitch. It looks so complicated, but is so easy to work. The second scarf is a seed stitch pattern, worked the long way for easy stripes. The great thing about both of these patterns is that they can be ...

Outlander Inspired Fingerless Mitts

I love fingerless gloves. They're especially handy keeping my hands warm while playing the violin outdoors in the winter. I had crocheted a pair several years ago, but one went by way of the sock trick (you know - you put two in the wash, and only one comes out?). Anyway, around my third time through the Outlander TV series, I started taking more notice of the outfits and accessories the women were wearing. Since I had a need, I decided to have another go at a pair of fingerless gloves, and this is what I came up with. Enjoy! I started by measuring around my palm, at the base of my index and pinky fingers. I measured my right hand, since it's a little bigger. In fact, I couldn't find my tape measure, so my daughter put a piece of washi tape around my hand, then stuck it to a piece of paper. I cast on my stitches until they were the same length, then added two stitches for the seam. Working in a flat piece, I started with about an inch of seed stitch, then separa...
