Free Scarf Crochet Pattern: Mother's Present Completed

The crocheted scarf that had me worried for a moment.

Now that my mother's scarf is finally done, I just need to remember to actually give it to her. This crocheted scarf had me worried in the beginning stages, as it looked a little on the sloppy side. You can read about my experience with it here and here. For those who like the look of this crochet pattern, I will write down the specifics here for you, so you can try it yourself.

The Sloppy Start

In another post, I mention the fact that this particular scarf was looking a tad bit sloppy because I chose the wrong hook size. If I remember right, I had to go under the recommended hook size, which I consider as a little weird - I work tightly naturally.

Luckily, after common sense kicked in, the scarf started to look a lot better and the pattern was a lot more suitable for a light scarf. The colours together with the open work of the pattern, makes this a great crocheted scarf for the summer or in between seasons (but you will need something a lot more cozy for those winter days).

The Free Crochet Pattern

I had to remake this scarf pattern. I got it from somewhere on the net, but I can't find it again. If anyone knows where this pattern came from, please let me know. I need to add a link to their website. For now, be aware that this is not my pattern, but it is at least a free crochet pattern that I found.

Row 1

Make this free crochet pattern as long as you need it to be, as long as you stick to multiples of twelve. Thus chain in multiples of twelve plus an extra one for your next row.
Turn your work.

Row 2

Single crochet (SC) all the way through.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 3

Skip 2, SC into the 3rd stitch.
Chain 6, skip 5 and SC into the 6th stitch.
Chain 3, skip 2 and SC into the 3rd stitch.
Continue on with this pattern until the end.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 4

Double crochet (DC) into the 3 stitch gap.
*DC 9 times into the 6 stitch gap.
DC into the next 3 stitch gap.
Chain 2.
DC into the next 3 stitch gap.
Continue from * until the end.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 5

SC into the 4th stitch of the 9 DC group.
SC into the next stitch.
SC into the next stitch after that.
Chain 3.
(Petal Stitch) - Yarn over, go into the 2 chain gap of the previous row, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2, yarn over and go through the gap again, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through 2, yarn over and pull through 2, yarn over and go through the gap a third and last time, yarn over, pull through, yarn over and pull through 2, yarn over and pull through the last 3.
Chain 3.
Continue from the beginning.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 6

SC into 3 chain gap.
Chain 3.
*SC into the middle SC of the previous row (of the 3 SC group).
Chain 3.
SC into next 3 chain gap.
Chain 6.
SC into next 3 chain gap.
Chain 3.
Continue from *.
At the end, you need to make sure that you have 3 3-chain gaps. You should end with a 3 chain being SC into the last 3 chain gap of the previous row. After this, chain 3 and SC into the last loop of the previous row, allowing you to have a block-form (otherwise your work's sides will be all over the place) and your 3 3-chain gaps that you need.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 7

DC 4 times into the first 3 chain gap.
*DC into the next 3 chain gap.
Chain 2.
DC into the next 3 chain gap (see why those 3 3-chains are so important?).
DC 9 times into the 6 chain gap.
Continue from *.
At the end, make sure to DC 5 times into the last 3 chain gap.
Chain 1.
Turn your work.

Row 8

SC into the same stitch.
SC into the next stitch.
Chain 3.
*Make a petal stitch.
Chain 3.
SC into 4th DC of 9 DC group.
SC into middle DC (next one).
SC into next DC.
Chain 3.
Continue from *.
At the end, your last SC will fall on the last DC.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

Row 9

SC into first 3 chain gap.
*Chain 6.
SC into next 3 chain gap.
Chain 3.
SC into middle SC of the previous row.
Chain 3.
SC into the 3 chain gap.
Continue from *.
Chain 3.
Turn your work.

From here you repeat from row 4 until you have it as wide as you want.

Until next time! Remember to leave a comment.
