Crochet Pattern for a Multicolored Scarf

Crocheting this scarf is really fun, and it’ll certainly brighten up your wardrobe. Not only are you changing colors with each row, but textures as well. You work the scarf completely with single crochet stitches, but you’d never know to look at it. Sometimes it’s okay to mix and match yarns, and this design is a great example.

Materials and vital statistics

• Yarn:
  • Bernat “Matrix” railroad yarn (62% nylon/38% polyester), Article #166102 (1.75 oz. [50 g>, 140 yds [128 m> each ball): 1 ball of #02430 Web Wines (A)
  • Patons “Silverlash” eyelash yarn (98% polyester/2% lurex), Article #244081 (1.75 oz. [50 g>, 164 yds [150 m> each skein): 1 skein of #81415 Rose Quartz (B)
  • Patons “Lacette” fine-weight yarn (39% nylon/36% acrylic/25% mohair), Article #243030 (1.75 oz. [50 g>, 235 yds [215 m> each skein): 1 skein of #30040 Touch of Black (C)
  • Patons “Silverlash” eyelash yarn (98% polyester/2% lurex), Article #244081 (1.75 oz. [50 g>, 164 yds [150 m> each skein): 1 skein of #81405 Maroon Magic (D)

You’ll have enough yarn to make several scarves.

• Hook: Crochet hook size H-8 U.S. or size needed to obtain gauge
• Measurements: 31⁄4 wide x 45 in. long
• Gauge: 8 sts = 2 in.; 6 rows = 1 in.
• Stitches used: Chain stitch (ch), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc)

The beauty of this design reveals itself as you complete each row. You’ll get lots of practice changing yarn colors, and the great thing is the textures will hide any slip-ups if you don’t get it quite right the first time. Because the scarf is worked in single crochet stitches, it’s also a great project to help you get used to working with novelty yarns.
