Find Your Speckle

My favorite knitted scarf is one I knitted lengthwise, on big needles in garter stitch, with the ends at diagonals with beaded fringe. It’s so easy to wear, swingy and drapey and stretchy soft.

So, my goal was to devise a similar crochet scarf that doesn’t have just row after row of heavy linear single or double crochet, a scarf that doesn’t look like crochet, and a scarf that would have the same loose drapiness to it. What I designed is a scarf that is crocheted loosely throughout with a big hook, using a fingering weight yarn. And it’s easy!

You do not have to count rows or stitches beyond the foundation row, but yet it’s not boring. It’s an easy to memorize stitch and row sequence. What could be better than that? Once you count out your foundation row you proceed without stressing or counting, and without following step by step instructions.
