Introduction

Shelly Scarf This fun scarf is perfect year-round.

[Editor's Note: This pattern was originally published on Emily's website. She plans to take her web site down, and we're very happy to give her pattern a home here. This is a companion to the The Professional hat.]

Materials List

About 200-250 yds worsted weight yarn
Size K/10 1/2 hook (6.5 mm)
yarn needle (optional for weaving in ends)

Finished Size

Gauge

13 sts = 4”

Notes

Shell: 5 dc all in same stitch

The Pattern

To Begin

Ch 19.

Row 1: 4 dc in 4th ch from hook, sk 4 chs, *shell in next ch, sk 4 chs; rep from * to last ch, 3 dc in last ch, turn.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as dc), 4 dc in first dc, work shell in 3rd dc of each shell across to last shell, 3 dc in 3rd dc of last shell, turn.

Rows 3-68: Repeat Row 2. Add or subtract rows to make the scarf longer or shorter.

Finish off.

Tassels: Cut 60 equal-length pieces of yarn. Separate into 6 10-piece bunches. Attach 5 bunches, evenly spaced, to each end of scarf.

I have made about ten of these scarves--in all colors. The ones in solid wool are the prettiest.

HELP!! I am new at crocheting! I tried this scarf but it ended up curving after the first row. I am wondering if my chains were too tight or if there is a trick to the pattern or something i am doing wrong!! I love the scarf and would like to try it!

I've made this scarf in a thick acryl/wool blend with an 8 mm needle in solid white. Works up in an evening and indeed makes a great gift. Love this pattern and will be using it more often!

Regards,

Susanne

i am now making this scarf in black for a christmas gift...it is easy and quick to make...i love how it looks. i will probably make it in several different colours, including my personal favourite - grey. it is a very feminine look, especially in soft pastel colours such as soft pink, off white and ecru.

I really like the look of this scarf... i will definately be making atleast one when i find a spare few moments. It looks simple yet effective, and i'm sure its a quick FO fix ;P
I agree with the previous poster, it'd look great it many colour variations and also yarn weights/types....
Thanks for this Emily :)

I'm making a scarf with this pattern (and Lion suede yarn..mmm, softness) right now for a dear friend. :D
This pattern is just right and sure to be such a lovely scarf when I'm finished. ^_^

This pattern is beautiful and I would love to try it, but I'm still a bit of a beginner crocheter. I'm definitely going to try it though. :o)

I really love this pattern,its so simple and very effective. I have already crocheted 1 scarf with twilleys spirit yarn and now I'm on to my 2nd scarf with Lang yarns(mille colori). They are both very beautiful and quick enough to crochet for christmas pressies.
Thanks for the great pattern.

I just made this set and it was so easy and turned out so wonderful. I had everybody asking if they could have a set! Great Job!

I love this pattern. It hooks up so quickly and looks great in so many different yarns and combinations. I made one for my mom for christmas along with "The Professional" and she loved them. You can find pictures on my blog, they turned out great. I also made one for myself and am working on another in a light chenile yarn for a friend. Thanks for the great pattern!
