Pattern Instructions

R1: Ch 27, beg in the 2nd ch from the hook and pull up 1 loop. Pull up 1 loop in each of the next 4 chs. You now have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops; ch 1 (1 star stitch completed). *Pull up 1 loop in the ch-1 you just crocheted. Pull up 1 loop in the last loop of the star stitch you just created. Pull up 1 loop in the same ch as the last loop of the star stitch you just created. Pull up 1 loop in each of the next 2 chs. You now have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the hook, ch 1** (2nd star stitch completed). Rep from * to ** 9 more times. 1 hdc in the final ch of the row. Turn. [11 star stitches, 1 hdc]

R2: Ch 2 (counts as 1 hdc). Work 2 hdc into the “eye” of each star stitch across. Work 1 hdc into the top of the initial 2nd ch from R1. [24]

R3: Ch 2, pull up 1 loop in the front loop (FL) of the 2nd ch from the hook. Pull up 1 loop in the back loop (BL) of the same 2nd ch. Pull up 1 loop in each of the next 3 hdc. You now have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops; ch 1 (1 star stitch completed). *Pull up 1 loop in the ch-1 you just crocheted. Pull up 1 loop in the last loop of the star stitch you just created. Pull up 1 loop in the same st as the last loop of the star stitch you just created. Pull up 1 loop in each of the next 2 sts. You now have 6 loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the hook, ch 1** (2nd star stitch completed). Rep from * to ** 9 more times. 1 hdc in the final hdc of the row (i.e. the ch 2 at the beg of the previous row). Turn. [11 star stitches, 1 hdc]

R4:  Ch 2 (counts as 1 hdc). Work 2 hdc into the “eye” of each star stitch across. Work 1 hdc into the top of the initial 2nd ch from R1. [24]

Rep R3 and R4: 1 more times.

Edging

These rounds (R) are worked around the entire outside of the cozy.

R1: Ch 1 and turn. Work 1 sl st in the FL of each hdc across (I worked 24). Rotate your cozy to work down the side edge. Work sl sts evenly down the side edge (I worked 9 but if you have a few more, or less this is ok!). Rotate your work to work along the starting ch row. Work 24 sl sts evenly across. Rotate you work to work up the other side of the scarf. Work sl sts evenly up the side edge (whatever number you worked on the first side edge is the number you need to work here. I worked 9 on both sides). Finish off with an invisible join and weave in ends.

 

Finishing

Now fold your project in half. Overlap the two side edges (the ones you worked 9 sl st on) slightly (I overlapped about 1/2 inch) and stitch them together. I used a whip stitch join. You can take a look at and choose from a few different seaming techniques here:

This what your project looks like so far:

If you want to add 2 decorative buttons – like I did – my buttons are approximately 1-inch in diameter. I hand stitched them with the same color yarn as I used in the project and tied them securely in place before weaving in my ends.

This project should take you less than 30 minutes to make – perfect for last minute gift-giving ideas- or to use up a bit of leftover yarn you have on hand from making either of these to free patterns:
