That Cute Little Red Ascott

Best Blog Tips



This is the kind of little scarf that every crocheter should have in hand when thinking about gift-making.
It is also great for charity. It works up really fast. I made it in two sittings.
So, this one will work if you want to make a whole bunch of scarflettes.
Note 1- If you would like it to be a bit more loose around your neck, simply add 11 or 16 more stitches to the
foundation chain and follow the pattern as written originally. That will make the scarflet a bit loser. You can also make it the same length but
reduce the size of the keyhole by 5 stitches, which will increase the give as the scarf is tied around the neck.
The idea of this one was to immitate a hankerchief around the neck, so it was not designed to be like a long
scarf that you can wind up several times around the neck. A young girl will love one of this one!
Make it in her favorite color or in blue jean hues!
Note 2- Ch 1 turning chain stands for 1 sc throughout.

Skill- Moderately easy
Size- Approximately 5" W x 21 1/2' L

Materials:
Red Heart worsted weight Cherry Red yarn
Crochet hook size H
Scissors
blunt needle (to weave in yarn tails)

With H hook and Cherry Red ch 81. Row 1- 1 sc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 2, turn.
Row 2- Skip 1st sc, 1 sc in next sc, *ch 1, skip next sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep from * across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3- 1 sc in ch-1 space, ch 1, skip next sc, *1 sc in ch-1 space, ch 1, skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch-1 space, ch 1, skip next sc, rep from * across. Note 3- Don't work too tight so that the stitch won't "pull" and become distorted.
Rows 4 to 6- Rep rows 2 and 3 alternately. Ch 1, turn. Row 7- 1 sc in each sc and in each ch-1 space across.Ch 1, turn.
Row 8- (As before, ch 1 counts as first sc of row). 1 sc in each of next 13 sc. Keyhole: ch 12, skip 12 sc, 1 sc in next sc, 1 sc in each sc across. Ch 2, turn. Row 9- Skip next sc, 1 sc in next sc, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next sc, ch 1, rep from * until you reach the opening (keyhole), then, make 1 sc in each chain of the opening, 1 sc in next sc (first sc on the other side of the keyhole), *ch 1, skip next sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep from * across.
Rows 10 to 14- Repeat rows 2 and 3
alternately. Ch 1, turn. Row 15- Make 1 sc in each sc and ch-1 space across row.
Edges- As you reach the end of row 15, ch 1 (do not fasten off), turn the corner and sc across the narrow edge of the little scarf.
Fasten off, weave in tail. Join yarn to the opposite end and sc across the narrow edge. Fasten off, weave in tail.
Finished!

Now I really like this style, I have 2 g-daughters and the youngest is 5. Of course she thinks she is much older, this would be perfect for her because it would stay put and not come unwrapped all the time. I must try this tomorrow....if I have any yarn??? Or I might just have to go shopping, wouldn"t that be just too bad?? 8>)

I forgot to add this, but if you make it for a child (who are very active) you could add a loop and a button, but I think it will stay put. It did it for me. Get her a nice soft yarn, that will be precious!

These are so cute. These would be great for spring in a nice sport weight cotton yarn. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!

You are very welcome!

I don't see a gauge and want to do this in bulky weight yarn. Do you have the width and length please?

Hi Rebecca, the size of the finished item is 5" W by 21" L. I did not design it for a chunky yarn and do not know how it would turn out in one. I take no responsibility for the result if you depart from the pattern suggestions.
