Welcome to the September Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month, I chose to make a lightweight scarf using the fun, popular, corner to corner technique and some warm fall leaf appliques.

Originally, I designed this scarf for submission to a fall crochet/knit magazine. At the time, the magazine was contemplating going only knit, so I just went ahead and passed on the opportunity knowing it would be perfect to share with you guys this fall. This scarf is actually what sparked the idea for my Blessed C2C Blanket. The whole time, I thought, how cool would it be if it had the word “Thankful” or “Blessed” down one of the sides. The word was too long for it, and that’s when I went ahead with the blanket.

I knew I still wanted to make this scarf fall somehow, and that’s when I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and came across this Falling Leaves Throw from Red Heart. I loved the idea of the leaves in different directions falling. I dug out my leaf pattern from my Turqua Spring Wreath, which now has it’s own post – Basic Leaf Pattern 2 Ways, and some fall colored yarns from my stash, and got to work on the leaves.

I’ve teamed up with Nicki from Nicki’s Homemade Crafts, and 19 other designers to bring you the Leap into Fall blog hop! 21 great free crochet patterns to the theme of Fall. Check out all the designs on Nicki’s Leap into Fall post.

Pattern Notes:

I have a photo tutorial showing how to work the Corner to Corner Stitch Pattern in DC Boxes.

Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.

A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.  

The “space under the same chain joined to” is defined as the space between the last two double crochets of the previous rows box.

Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, you may also need to lightly tug on it to keep it even as well.

Pattern:

Chain 6. DC into the 4th chain, and into each of the next 2. (1 Box)

R2: Chain 6, and turn. DC into the 4th chain, and into each of the next 2, slip stitch into the top of the next chain 2. Chain 2, work 2 DC into the space under the same chain joined to, DC into the top of the last stitch. (2 Boxes)

Fasten Off, and Weave in Ends.

Leaves:

Make 10 using my Basic Leaf Pattern 2 Ways Free Crochet Pattern with vein in your choice of colors – I did 2 in chocolate brown, green and red, and one each in violet, orange, limeade, and baby sage, leaving a long tail for sewing on. I weaved my initial tail in after completing each leaf.

Lay leaves out to decide placement.

To sew them on, break loop, thread needle, take needle down the last stitch, then up from the wrong side in between one of the V’s, then down in between the next V, and work in this manner around. The last image above shows how it looks from the back. Weave in ends.
