July crochet scarf (continuous grannies)

This is the 7th design of 2014 and is based on granny squares joined as one long piece (I have also done this with granny circles - June Crochet Scarf). I choose a silk yarn, for drape and because it is cool which is good for summer in the UK. The colours are also cool blues. I used 2 colours but you could use 4 if you like. The yarn is double knit, but you can choose any weight of yarn provided you use a suitable hook size. And adjust the foundation to be a suitable length If you are used to granny stitches, you will find this makes up very quickly. The scarf is approx. 10 cm (4”) wide by 150 cm (59”) long when blocked. The pattern is written in English and US crochet terms, and is charted. Once you have mastered the continuous row of 4 round grannies, you could easily adapt to 5 or more rounds. A blanket/throw could be made by making strips of grannies then joining them - much quicker than a normal granny throw!
