acrylic in an Aaron weight So you can
0:15
use any Aaron or worsted weight yarn I
0:19
used two balls to make my scarf I did
0:21
make my scarf very long so you you might
0:24
not need as much if you don't want to
0:25
make your scarf as long So if you needed
0:27
any more information I will link the
0:29
written pattern in the description box
0:31
below So you're going to need your yarn
0:33
a 5.5 mm hook a pair of scissors and a
0:36
darning needle So I'm going to start by
0:37
putting a slip knot on my
0:44
hook and chaining three So that's one
0:48
two three Now we're going to start by
0:51
working into this first chain with a
0:53
herring bone double crochet So going to
0:58
hook goes into that first stitch Pull up
1:02
loop And we're going to pull that loop
1:07
this loop on the hook Yarn over pull
1:10
through one And then yarn over and pull
1:13
through two And we're going to do
1:15
another one of those into that same
1:19
over hook goes into the stitch pull up a
1:22
loop pull that loop through the first
1:26
loop yarn over pull through one yarn
1:30
two So that's our first row Now we're
1:34
going to be starting the repeat rows So
1:37
the next three rows are the rows you're
1:39
going to repeat while you're working
1:40
your increases This will give you that
1:42
lovely tapered shape to the ends of your
1:44
scarf So we'll chain two to start This
1:47
counts as a herring bone double crochet
1:49
and turn And then we're going to put a
1:51
herring bone double crochet in the
1:54
stitches So go into this next
2:00
stitch and then into that last stitch
2:04
which is the top of our turning chain
2:16
So we have a total of three herring bone
2:18
double crochet at the end of that row
2:20
We're going to chain two and turn And
2:23
we're going to repeat that row
2:27
again So it's a herring bone double
2:30
into each stitch Remember that chain two
2:33
counts as a herring bone double crochet
2:43
And then we're ready for row three So
2:44
we'll chain two and turn And this is the
2:48
the increase row So we're going to put
2:51
another herring bone double crochet into
2:53
that first stitch Remember this chain
2:54
two counts as a herring bone double
2:56
crochet So we're going to put another
2:57
one into that first stitch
3:05
I'm going to put a herring bone double
3:07
crochet in each stitch up to the last
3:09
stitch So it's just that one at the
3:12
moment for that middle
3:13
stitch And then in the last stitch which
3:16
is the chain two we're going to put two
3:43
So I'll show you that repeat once more
3:45
So we chain two turn herring bone double
3:50
stitch So we go into that second
3:56
stitch and into the next
4:05
stitch and the following
4:10
stitch and into that turning chain This
4:13
one can sometimes be a bit tricky to get
4:20
into Then chain two and turn And then
4:23
we're going to repeat that row again
4:38
So it's herring bone double crochet into
4:41
stitch And then last one goes into the
4:52
two And then this is the third row of
4:54
the repeat So we'll chain two and turn
4:57
And this is the increase row So we're
5:00
going to put another one into that first
5:06
herring bone double crochet into each
5:08
stitch until you get to the last
5:21
stitch And in that last stitch which is
5:27
two if I can get my hook in
5:32
there we're going to put two Oops two
5:46
crochets And as you can see we're
5:48
already getting that that tapered
5:51
look So you're going to keep repeating
5:57
rows until you have a total of 17
6:00
stitches or until your scarf is as wide
6:02
as you would like it to be So once
6:05
you've done that then you're going to be
6:06
working the body of the scarf which is
6:09
just a one row repeat which is very
6:11
simple So you'll chain
6:13
two and then it's going to be a herring
6:16
bone double crochet into each stitch
6:41
Don't forget to work into that last
6:42
stitch which is the top of the chain
6:51
two So you're just going to repeat that
6:54
row now until your scarf is about as
6:57
long as you would like it to be and then
6:59
we're ready to start the decreases Okay
7:01
so the decreases is going to be similar
7:03
to the increases It's going to be a
7:05
three row repeat So we'll start by
7:07
chaining one This does not count as a
7:09
stitch We're going to skip this first
7:12
stitch which is this one here And then
7:14
we're going to herring bone double
7:16
crochet into each stitch until we get to
7:23
stitches So herring bone double crochet
7:39
across until we get to the last two
7:41
stitches So I've got my last um stitch
7:44
here and then the chain two which counts
7:47
as a stitch That's our last two stitches
7:49
And now we're going to work a herring
7:51
bone two double crochet together So
7:54
you're going to yarn over put your hook
7:56
into the next stitch pull up a loop pull
7:59
through that pull that loop through that
8:01
first loop and then we're going to yarn
8:03
over and pull through the first loop
8:05
Then we'll yarn over and go into the top
8:08
two Pull up a loop Pull that loop
8:11
through that first loop Yarn over pull
8:13
through one And then yarn over and pull
8:16
through all of those loops And that's
8:18
your herring bone double crochet to do
8:20
together So the next row we'll chain two
8:23
Again the chain two counts as herring
8:26
crochet and we're going to her herring
8:28
bone double crochet into each stitch So
8:30
we've got the chain two so that counts
8:31
as that first one So we'll go into the
8:37
stitch and into each stitch across
9:00
And then for the third row of the repeat
9:01
we're going to chain two and just repeat
9:05
row So it's herring bone double
9:08
crochet into each stitch across
9:31
Then you're ready to start the decreases
9:40
stitch herring bone double crochet into
9:45
stitch And then you're going to do this
9:47
until each stitch across until you've
9:49
stitches remaining which we're already
9:52
there And then it's that herring bone
9:54
double crochet two together So yarn over
9:57
hook goes into the stitch pull up a loop
9:59
pull through that first loop yarn over
10:01
pull through one yarn over go into the
10:10
loop pull through that first loop yarn
10:13
over pull through one and yarn over and
10:15
pull through all of those three loops So
10:17
you're going to keep repeating these
10:20
last three rows until you've got three
10:22
stitches remaining And once you get to
10:24
three stitches you're going to chain one
10:28
turn and then you're going to herring
10:30
bone two double crochet together and
10:35
off So we're going into that next
10:39
stitch and then into that top of that
10:50
two and then fasten off Then you're
10:53
ready to make and sew on your tassels So
10:55
if you would like to use a tassel maker
10:57
to make your tassels I have a video
10:59
showing how to do that if you just use
11:01
the smallest size on the tassel maker
11:03
for this scarf If not you can use an old
11:06
credit card like this And you'll just
11:07
want to start by wrapping your yarn
11:09
around 25 times So once you've got your
11:16
times just cut that off
11:21
there Now you'll want to take a strand
11:25
yarn just long enough so that you can
11:28
use it to sew on your
11:31
tassel to your scarf So you're going to
11:33
thread the end onto a darning needle
11:38
And then you're just going to go through
11:44
so You take that off the needle
11:51
now And then you want to tie it nice and
11:53
tightly if you tie a surgeon's knot So
11:55
if you go around once and then go around
12:03
time then just tight Pull that
12:08
tight And then you can tie another knot
12:18
it Then go ahead and just cut all your
12:36
So you'll then want to take another
12:38
strand just lay your tassel over the top
12:42
and again we're going to do another
12:43
surgeon's knot So just to do that one
12:51
around probably about about leave an
12:54
inch for the head of the tassel Pull
13:00
tight And then add one more knot for
13:06
security Then you can
13:09
just give your ends a trim
13:22
There we go So then you just need to
13:24
make one more and then you can securely
13:26
sew your tassels to each end of your
13:28
scarf It's a good idea to block your
13:31
finished scarf Just simply pin it out to
13:33
shape and spray it down with some water
13:37
and leave it to dry If you enjoyed this
