Crochet Stitch Patterns: Wool Bam Boo Scarf

Crochet Stitch Patterns

Wool Bam Boo Scarf by Judith L. Swartz

With the Wool Bam Boo scarf, two natural fibers (both highly renewable resources as well) meet to share their respective properties and create a yarn that is soft, strong, lustrous and a joy to work with. This yarn lends itself beautifully to crochet as the smooth texture is a perfect format for any type of pattern stitch. The pattern is easy to learn and the elongated stitches show the yarn off to its best advantage. The crochet stitches used here include:

  • Crochet chain stitch
  • Double crochet stitch
  • Treble crochet stitch (triple crochet stitch)
  • Single crochet stitch
  • Double crochet two together (Dc2tog)
  • Double crochet three together (Dc3tog)
  • Double crochet four together (Dc4tog)
