    My Crochet Pattern Notes

    This scarf is made from point to point, short end to short end. It’s made in solely single crochet because boucle yarn is a difficult yarn to use in crochet. The silky slubs try to get stuck in the loops so it’s best to use easy stitches and work with a steady and cautious hand.

    Don’t get impatient and crochet too quickly. It’s difficult to rip out so, if you do, use care so you don’t damage the yarn.

    How To Turn A Hank Of Yarn Into A Ball

    Since this boucle is a luxury yarn and it’s slippery, I decided it would be best to manually roll it into a ball. I didn’t want to try to make a cake of yarn. Too slippery and the strands were likely to be sticky.

    In you’re unsure of how to use a hank of yarn, have a look at this YouTube video on turning a hank of yarn into a ball.

    I had Christian help me but if you don’t have a teenaged son, you can use the back of a chair.

    Demonstrating a hank of yarn rolling into a ball

    I put the ball of yarn in a 1/2 gallon canning jar when working with it. I’ll admit that I couldn’t find my yarn bowl after my long break from crochet. The canning jar worked just as well, if not better. No chance at all of it rolling out.

    Blocking Your Project

    This yarn is 90% superwash merino. It’s marked as handwash/dry flat. Be aware that superwash merino blocks out a lot.

    Place your project in a bowl of cool water. Submerge completely. Squeeze gently with a towel to remove any excess water. Place the project on a flat surface and shape. You will immediately see just how much your project will grow.

    You won’t necessarily need any pins or blocking wires, unless you absolutely want them. I just like to shape and let dry.

    The measurements and gauge provided are after this wet blocking.

    Yarn

    Arkansas Yarn Co’s “Pearl” in colorway Zombie in a Tutu, 90% superwash merino, 10% nylon, 437 yds, 100g, 437 yards used.

    This boucle style yarn is from Arkansas Yarn Co. It’s made of a textured strand with little silky slubs. It’s considered to be a fingering weight. Because of the slubs, it’s necessary to work with a larger hook at more of a DK gauge. So, although technically a size 2, I consider it to be more of a size 3 when working on a crochet project.

    Yarn Substitution

    I’ve created this pattern because I know how difficult it is to go to a yarn store and not buy some fantastic luxury yarn. You just fall in love with it, and it has to come home with you. But, then, what do you do with that one ball of luxury yarn?

    This free skinny scarf pattern works great for that one ball of yarn. I’ve used almost the entire hank.

    Other Materials

    Suggested Crochet Hook Size G-7 (4.5mm) or hook needed to meet gauge.
    Yarn Needle for weaving ends.

    Abbreviations

    This crochet scarf pattern is written in US crochet terminology.

    ch=chain; rep=repeat; sc=single crochet; sk=skip; sl=slip; st=stitch.

    All numbers after the colon at the end of the instructions are stitch counts. Use the stitch count to check your work.

    Gauge

    In stitch pattern, after blocking with more of a stretch lengthwise, 22 sc for 17 rows measures approximately 4″ x 4″.

    Gauge will only be important in order to avoid running out of yarn before you finish the project. If you’re not worried about running out of yarn, you can work at any gauge you like.
