Let’s begin! Materials: Note: I worked in continuous rounds (vs. joined rounds) and used the 2.00 mm crochet hook all throughout to get a tighter gauge. Using black yarn, we will make: (1) a big black circle, (2) a smaller black circle, and (3) a bun. (1) Big Circle: R1: Ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook. (6 sts) R2: 2 sc in each sc around. (12 sts) Half-Assed Patterns » Instant Gratification Scarf. Instant Gratification Scarf This scarf is good for stretching a little yarn a long way, and is ridiculously easy and quick (hence the name). It shows off the texture of thick-and-thin yarn very well. It looks the same on both sides, no wrong side, and has a little more structure to it than a traditional drop-stitch scarf. It’s also surprisingly warm and cozy, given how open it is. · 1-2 skeins of Malabrigo Aquarella or Gruesa, or 65-130 yds of super bulky yarn · US 13 or US 15 needles · tapestry needle · impatience … doesn’t really matter.
The first thing to do is decide how wide/long you want it, given how much yarn you have. . - Casting on 9 sts on size 13s w/ 65 yds of yarn gave me a scarf about 50″ long and 4.5″ wide. - Casting on 11 sts on size 15s w/ about 105 yds of yarn gave me a scarf about 80″ long and 6″ wide. If you don’t like how it’s turning out, just rip it all out and start again – it’s so quick that it’s almost painless to start over. CO your chosen number of stitches. K one row. Noro hat.
