About the Pattern
This Braided Crochet Scarf Pattern is created by Cute as a Button Crochet and is literally one of the funnest patterns I’ve ever worked on. It looks incredibly complicated from the photo but surprise – it’s not!
- Created with simple stitches – chains and single crochets
- Easy to read pattern (not everyone can write a pattern but this one is without flaw!)
- Step by step viceo
- Easy to make while you binge your favorite show (for me, that was Mike and Molly reruns this week)
- It has so much yummy texture!
About the Yarn
I’m a big fan of using what you have on hand, but I loved this pattern’s photos so much and wanted to make sure it turned out exactly like what I was seeing on my screen so I went with the recommended yarn – the Lion Brand Feels like Butta – but I opted for it in Quail. I omitted the tassels from my scarf so I only used about 2.5 loaves of yarn.
This isn’t the first time I’ve used this yarn, but I’d forgotten how nice it feels in your fingers.
About the Tools
The creator recommends a 6.0 crochet hook, but I opted for my 5.0 mm Clover Armour crochet hook – I crochet somewhat loose and I knew I didn’t want this to be too thick of a scarf. My end result measured 6.25″ wide.
To weave in the ends, I reacehed for my Susan Bates Weaving Needles. I know that’s no surprise to you 🙂
The pattern suggests fringe which I found adorable, but decided that I liked the look of this scarf without fringe – I may change my mind and add some in later.
