Special Stitches & Techniques

Double Crochet Spike Stitch

This pattern uses a double crochet spike stitch. In the instructions, it appears as:

(dc, dc into center st of cluster from previous row, dc) in next ch-1 sp

To work this cluster with the double crochet spike stitch:

• Double crochet into the next chain-1 space.

• For the second double crochet, insert your hook into the center stitch of the 3 double crochet cluster from two rows below. Keep a loose tension and pull the yarn up to the height of the current row to complete the spike stitch.

• Complete the double crochet spike stitch.

• Double crochet again into the same chain-1 space.

Notes

The scarf is worked back and forth in rows along the short edge. Once the main panel is complete, the sleeves and border are added by working around the outer edges of the scarf. Finally, the sleeves are seamed to finish the piece.

• A chain 3 at the beginning of a round counts as a double crochet stitch.

• The pattern is written as follows: 2T (4T) 6T (8) 10 (S) M (L)

• Stitch counts are given at the end of each row as follows: {2T, 4T, 6T, 8, 10, S, M, L}

  • stitch counts are given as the number of clusters in a row. A “cluster” is defined as a grouping of 3 double crochet stitches in a ch-1 space. Turning chains and 2 double crochet clusters at the end of a row are not included in stitch counts.

Fasten off.

Seaming

Fold the sleeve in half lengthwise and use a whip stitch to seam it closed. Continue stitching slightly into the scarf section to blend the sleeve into the body of the scarf.

Lay the scarf flat and ensure the second sleeve is folded in the same direction as the first. Whip stitch the second sleeve closed, again continuing slightly into the scarf section to create a seamless join.

Weave in all ends.
