Pattern Notes

Written instructions are for working from the bottom right corner to the top left.
Crochet the scarf using the corner-to-corner (C2C) technique. Use the traditional method of making three double crochets for each square.
Chain 6 to start each new row and chain 3 at the beginning of each square.

Corner to corner (c2c) crochet is a technique where you crochet “squares” in diagonal rows.

You start in the bottom right corner and end in the top left corner.

Each row is increased by one square until you reach the width & length. Each square in the graph = chain 3 + 3 double crochet.

c2c Crochet Increases

Increases are made at the end of each row. Chain 6 and DC in the 4^th chain from the hook and in each of the 2 remaining chains.

You will have a chain 3 + 3 DC square. This is your first square for the beginning of the next row.

Turn your work and join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space from the last square made.

c2c Crochet Decreases

The first decreases for both the width and length will create corners.

To decrease, turn your work and slip stitch across the 3 DC’s in the last square made.

Join with a slip stitch to the chain 3 space and chain 3 + 3 DC.

Pom Poms

Firmly and evenly wind your yarn around each set of arches. After the first set of arches, close them and then wind your yarn around the second set.

Cut the yarn between each set of arches.

Use a scrap piece of yarn to tie the pom pom in place. I recommend you double/triple knot it.

Open the arches and remove the pom pom. Fluff it and trim any long ends.

Use a yarn needle to attach your pom poms (make 4) to the corners of your scarf.
