Pattern Notes:
Typically, the slanted shell pattern is worked into the 2nd chain of an even numbered chain. I, however, feel that working into this stitch causes the project to come out uneven and bunched up. You will find my pattern is worked into the 3rd chain of an odd numbered chain.


     Color changes are usually worked in the last yarn over of the stitch, but I found that my edges were looking a little funny because of this so instead, I worked as: fasten off at the end of the row, pull loop up to secure final stitch, attach new color to that final stitch, chain 1, hold both color tails in place with your left hand index finger and work first cluster over tails. Continue on with row. This created a nice, consistent edge throughout the piece and practically invisible color change.


     Alternatively, you can work your color change in the last yarn over of the stitch, carry your yarn up the sides and then add a border around the scarf to cover the carries. This way you’ll avoid having to weave in lots of ends. I don’t like to carry my yarn though, and I didn’t want to add a border. I really like the slight uneven edge created by the clusters.


     If you don’t want an infinity scarf, simply leave off the whipstitch join at the end. If you do so, add two more rows of turquoise at the beginning, and leave off the last two rows of turquoise (or your color of choice!).

Fasten Off with a long tail and whipstitch the ends closed, making sure the scarf isn’t twisted beforehand (unless this is the look you’re going for).


Originally, I laid my scarf down so the Right Sides were facing and then slip stitched across joining both layers, but I didn’t like how this created a visible seam and ridge so I would recommend the whipstitch method.


Weave in Ends.
