New Moon Scarf Pattern
When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.
The New Moon Scarf Pattern is my September Scarf of the Month Club CAL Pattern. This super soft and cozy scarf is crocheted with yarn I purchased from my favorite Michaels Store, located in Waterloo, Ontario.
This yarn shouted at me from the end cap and I looked at it and thought there is no way I am buying that fluffy looking yarn. I expected the little fibers were going to shed as I crocheted and I would end up looking like I had wrangled a cat when I was done making my project! This yarn did not ‘lint’ or ‘shed’ at all – I had zero fluffies attached to my person (I usually wear black pants and tops so this is an amazing feat!). This yarn is beautifully soft and calls out to be touched.
PS Save your leftover yarn from the Latte Cake because next week’s hat uses the remainder of the skein!

Hi Friends! I wanted to give you a quick update! I’m doing really well on my new medication. I’m happy to report my anxiety is gone and I am finally feeling more like myself. An added bonus is this new medication has fixed an issue that I thought couldn’t be fixed – my sleep! I used to wake multiple times (30 to 40 times a night) and be exhausted when I woke up – now I sleep for 6 to 7 hours straight – without waking even once! I wake up feeling well rested and ready to go! I hope you are all staying safe and feeling strong and healthy. xo Rhondda
Personal Stuff is done!

Special Stitches
dc2tog-cl
Work the following into one stitch or chain space:
Yarn over, insert your hook into the specified st (or chain-space) yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over, insert your hook into the SAME st (or chain-space) yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all rem loops on your hook.
TIP: you are basically working a dc2tog decrease stitch all in a one stitch – to create a small cluster.
dc3tog-cl
Work the following into one stitch or chain space:
Yarn over, insert your hook into the specified st (or chain-space) yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook. *Yarn over, insert your hook into the SAME st (or chain-space) yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook**. Rep from * to ** one MORE time. Yarn over and pull through all rem loops on your hook.

Notes:
- Initial ch 3 counts as 1 dc
- Initial ch 6 counts as 1 dc, ch 3
- Initial ch 5 counts as 1 dc, ch 2
- Stitch multiple is 8 plus 3 chs
- I work in the back bump of the chains in my foundation chain because I find it makes the beginning edge more elastic (stretchy) and it gives a more balanced look to the edge (ie. it gives you both the front and back loops to mimic the final row you work where you have the top of the stitch and both loops). 3 Ways to Work into the Starting Chain
