For my personal scarf I started with Raspberry and made 17 Foundation Double Crochet Stitches then switched to Ballerina for another 17 Foundation Double Crochet Stitches.

Each block is 8 row tall

Abbreviations:

●       Ch = Chain

●       DC = Double crochet

●       FDC = Foundation double crochet

●       Rep = Repeat

●       St = Stitch

Stacked Double Crochet: Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop so that there are two loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through to complete a single crochet stitch. Put your hook in the stitch you just created, yarn over, pull up a loop so that there are two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through to complete the stitch.

Pattern for Scarf:

Row 1: With Colour A, make any number of FDC according to half the width of your scarf. Attach Colour B and make FDC for the remaining width of your scarf.

For example, I made 17 FDC with Colour A (Raspberry) and 17 FDC with Colour B (Ballerina)

To change colours:

1. Complete the stitch as per usual and extend the loop on your hook.

2. Remove the hook from this loop and insert it into the front loop of the stitch and the bar next to it.

3. Wrap the new colour around the hook and pull it through both loops. You will now start working with this new colour. Pull the tail of the previous colour to tighten the stitch.

Row 2: Turn and make 1 Stacked DC.

Make 1 DC in each st of Colour B.

After working the last st of this colour, change colours.

Make 1 DC in each st of Colour A.

Row 3: Turn and make 1 Stacked DC.

Make 1 DC in each st of Colour A.

After working the last st of this colour, change colours.

Make 1 DC in each st of Colour B.

Row 3: Rep row 3, working the colours as they come (or adding new ones as you’d like). I made each colour block 8 rows tall.

When you’ve reached your desired length for your scarf, fasten off and cut the yarn.

Weave in the ends.
