Bulky Scarves!

I stared at that super bulky weight yarn for awhile after the kid went to hide in her room and thought about books and patterns, but I couldn’t come up with any right off the top of my head, so (you’d be proud of me—novice crocheter that I am) I just grabbed my P hook and started experimenting!

Here’s what I came up with. It’s very much a beginner project with double crochets and a few ch1 stitches, but I really like the end result. It just flew off my hook in no time—’cause, you know, big hook + big yarn = fast project! I like fast.

Are you looking for a quick and easy pattern for a last minute handmade gift? Well, here you go! In honor of the occasion of the creation of my very first ever crochet design, I thought I’d share my Bulky Scarf pattern with you—my loyal readers:

Super Bulky Weight Yarn

Crochet hook, size P (10 mm)

Ch 109.

Row 1: Dc in third ch from hook (2 skipped chs count as first dc), ch 1, skip next ch, (dc in next ch, ch 1, skip next ch) 4 times, dc in next 87 chs, (ch 1, skip next ch, dc in next ch) 5 times: 98 dc and 10 ch-1 sps.

Rows 2-5: Ch 2 (counts as first dc), turn; dc in first dc, ch 1, skip next ch-1 sp, (dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next ch-1 sp) 4 times, dc in next 87 dc, ch 1, skip next ch-1 sp, (dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next ch-1 sp) 4 times, dc in next dc, leave last dc unworked.

Finish off.

(Special thanks are due to Sarah, one of our Leisure Arts knit and crochet editors, for turning my scribbled pattern notes into real, easy-to-understand crochet instructions!)

In the meantime, I’m already half way through my second scarf with a third (in purple) on the horizon! Happy crocheting!!!
