Notes
- To make the colors repeat as I did I made sure my first chain stitch was at the very beginning of a new color section (grey) in the yarn. I left a 2.25″ tail in the color before my first chain stitch (for me this was the teal/green).
- If you are doing this with multiple balls of yarn – I worked the equivalent of 2 rows of each color.
- Do not count the starting or ending ch 3 as a stitch in the row-end counts.
- Stitch Multiple of 5 + 1
Pattern Instructions
R1 (RS) – Leave a 2.25″ tail of yarn and ch 21; working in the back bump of the starting chain work 1 dc in 4th ch from the hook. *Ch 1, sk 4 chs, work 1 petal in next ch**. Rep from * to ** 3 times. You have 2 chs remaining. Sk 1 ch, 1 dc in last ch. Ch 3, turn. [2 dc, 3 petals, 3 ch1sp]
R2: 1 dc in first dc, *ch 1, work 1 petal in ch1sp between next 2 petals** Rep from * to ** 3 times working 1 petal in each ch1sp across. Sk next dc, 1 dc in top of turning ch. Ch 3, turn. [2 dc, 3 petals, 3 ch1sp]
R3-R122: Rep R2
R123: 1 sc in first dc *ch 3, 1 sc in ch1sp between next 2 petals**. Rep from * to ** 3 times working 1 petal in each ch1sp across. Ch 2, sk next dc, 1 sc in top of turning ch. Ch 1 and finish off leaving a 2.25″ tail.
Fringe:
Using all my remaining yarn, I cut 4″ lengths of yarn for the fringe. Be sure to work from the same side while adding your fringe so the edge remains consistent. I had enough leftover to add a fringe to each stitch and ch on both ends of the scarf. I alternated colors to continue with the rainbow effect of the scarf.
The technique to add the fringe is very simple – if you need a visual to help you can view my fringe images from this post: Gently Reminisce Wrap or this post: How to Add a Simple Fringe
Once you have all your pieces attached, trim your fringe to 2 inches on both ends of the scarf and you are done!
