It’s time again for the Inspire My Creativity Challenge! This is a monthly craft blog hop, and each month, there is a different theme. This month’s theme is USE YOUR STASH. If you have a post that fits that theme, feel free to link up too!

Using up my stash is actually something that I put on my New Years Resolutions list this year, and I am really proud of myself for doing so well with it lately, including this beautiful scarf! Look at all this stash of #10 crochet thread I have!

Originally, my plan was to colorblock light gray, white and black – all colors I have in my stash, but when I starting working with the white, I had a feeling it might have been Aunt Lydia’s #10 Crochet Thread, which is a teeny tiny bit thicker, and requires a hook change, so instead I picked the Teal from my stash.

When I reached the point to switch to the third color, I pulled out the black, and realized that I didn’t have enough to finish this scarf, so I dug a little deeper, and found the gorgeous orange color called Papaya. I wasn’t sold on the idea at first, but as I continued to work, I really fell in love with it, and thought it was the perfect color combination for Fall! Now, #10 crochet thread isn’t really the best cool weather yarn, but it does work perfectly for late Summer/early Fall, or for the office!

Materials:

• #10 Crochet Thread – For the Adult Small I used 540 Yards of Hobby Lobby’s Artiste Cotton Crochet Thread in Cloud (I think – I lost the label, and online it looks a little dark), Jade Blue [Teal] and Papaya [Orange]
• 2.35mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternative: Aunt Lydia’s Crochet #10 Thread.

One skein of both Artiste #10 Crochet Thread & Aunt Lydia’s #10 Crochet Thread are 350 Yards, so if you don’t colorblock like I did, You will probably still need at least two skeins to complete any of the sizes included.

Time Spent:

I worked the teen/adult small size scarf in several seatings for a total of about 12 hours.

Measurements:

Toddler: 4.25″ Wide by 31.13″ Tall

Child: 5″ Wide by 44″ Tall

Teen/Adult Small: 6.38″ Wide by 60″ Tall

Adult Large: 7″ Wide by 70″ Tall

Gauge – Not Essential:

(10 spaces + cluster) + 1 dc = 4.13″ Wide, 15 Rows = 4.25″ Tall

Abbreviations:

• DC – Double Crochet

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain 3 counts as a double crochet.

Smallest size given with larger ones in parenthesis.

The stitch multiple is 3 + 1, so if you would like it more narrow or wider, simply subtract or add 3 chains to the foundation.

A cluster is defined as three double crochets together.

The best thing you can do to shape and open up the scarf is block it once finished – I do not block things though, so I added a border to give it more stability and a nice finish around, and left it as is. You can omit the border, and block, or do the border, and then block – it’s up to you!

Pattern:

In Gray, chain 37 (43, 51, 55). 2 DC into the 4th chain from the hook, skip 2 chains, (3 DC into the next chain, skip 2 chains) 9x (11x, 15x, 16x), DC into the last chain. [34 (40, 49, 55) DC]

Rows 2 – 37 (55, 73, 85): Chain 3, turn. 2 DC into the space in between the previous rows single DC and 1st cluster, (skip the next cluster, 3 DC into the next space in between clusters) 9x (11x, 15x, 16x), DC into the top chain of the beginning chain, and change to Teal. [34 (40, 49, 55) DC]

Rows 38 – 74 (56 – 112, 73 – 146, 86 – 170): In Teal, chain 3. Turn. 2 DC into the space in between the previous rows single DC and 1st cluster, (skip the next cluster, 3 DC into the next space in between clusters) 9x (11x, 15x, 16x), DC into the top chain of the beginning chain, and change to Orange. [34 (40, 49, 55) DC]

Rows 75 – 111 (113 – 165, 147 – 219, 171 – 255): In Orange, chain 3. Turn. 2 DC into the space in between the previous rows single DC and 1st cluster, (skip the next cluster, 3 DC into the next space in between clusters) 9x (11x, 15x, 16x), DC into the top chain of the beginning chain. [34 (40, 49, 55) DC]

Border – I changed my colors to match the colorblocks:

Chain 1, don’t turn. SC into the 1st stitch, and evenly working around, working a (SC, chain 1, SC) in each corner. Once back around, SC into the same as the 1st stitch. Join to the 1st SC.

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

Wrapped twice, and ends tucked. Alternatively, you can sew the ends of your scarf closed so it creates an infinity scarf, and wrap it like this.

Please feel free to make and sell your own Rustic Granny Stitch Scarf using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

I love this look. Decorative and adds warmth. To create this, fold the scarf in half, place it evenly around the back of your neck, and pull the open ends through the loop created by center fold.

A classic style! And the perfect way to enjoy all three colors of the colorblock. To get this look, fold in half, and place the center fold around the front of your neck. Wrap the ends around.
