My example in some of this leftover Universal Yarn Color Burst
in Aurora Borealis, it's
got some pretty colors, it's got some purple in it,
unfortunately the pictured scarf, that
yarn is no longer, well the colorway is no longer made.
It is from Schla, Schoppel, I'm gonna butcher it,
Schoppel, and it's called Zauberball,
And that color was called Fledermaus.
Now they still have that in their crazy line,
but the regular colorway it does not seem to be made
anymore, and if you're listening shop,
well everyone always asks me what color that scarf or
what yarn that scarf is made from,
so please start making it again because it is very popular.
But for the meantime,
because this is really only a one row repeat, we're going to make
that example just out of this.
We're not going to make the whole scarf this time,
just show you that repeat and talk about
joining.
But we're going to need,
if you're actually going to make the scarf, you'll need about
390 yards.
But the great thing is you can really use up any yarn you have
because it's a scarf.
So you can make it as short or as long as you want.
And
Find some sock weight yarn in your stash that you want to get rid of
and you can make that.
So with that we are going to need a 3.5 hook, so that's a US
So you'll just need that guy, some scissors,
maybe a row counter if you need one. Otherwise,
you.
get the pattern from the link in the description
and we'll get started. But first, if you like
free patterns be sure to hit the like, subscribe,
and notification bell so you never miss out when
a new one is released. Now let's get back to the pattern.
So to get started with the pattern,
we are going to do chain 52.
So go ahead and do 52 chains and then we will come back for row one.
Okay I've got my 52 chains and I'm ready for row one.
One thing to note when you are looking for
yarn if you're going to be doing self-striping try
to find one with a long color run.
Some sock yarns have very short color runs and it's more
meant for knit and actual socks
so that you have very stripey looking socks.
Certain yarns have much longer colorways.
I love Knit Picks Chroma, which I'll link below.
I love this Universal Yarn Color Burst, I'll link that.
Just find one that has more of a longer colorway
because your stitches are much bigger in crochet
than in knit, so if you have short colorways you don't get
a really good gradient effect.
So that's my TED talk, now let's start row one.
So to begin we're going to double crochet two times
in the fourth chain from our hook.
So that means the three that we're skipping
is going to count as a double crochet as well.
So I'm going to skip one, two, three,
and then I'm going to do two double crochets in the next chain.
And I'm just going to work on the back loop
because this is going to be sewn at the very end.
That's how we get our infinity scarf,
by sewing it so we can not have to worry about the actual bottom bump.
Then we're going to double crochet.
In each of the next four chains,
so one double crochet in each of the next four chains,
and we're going to chain one and we're going
to skip the next stitch that we have or the next
chain. Then we're going to do a dc5 together.
So this is going to create the valley for our chevron
So to do that, you're going to yarn over,
remember we're skipping that next chain,
we're going to go into the next chain,
we're going to start a double crochet by pulling up a loop,
and then pulling through two,
then we're going to stop and go to the next one, so yarn over,
insert into the next chain, pull up through two loops and stop,
again yarn over, go to the next
chain, pull up a loop, pull through two and stop,
do that two more times, go into the next one,
Pull through two stops, and then one last time here.
Okay, now you have six strands on your hook.
We're going to yarn over
and pull through all of them at once to create our DC5 together.
So if you point your hook down,
that'll be the easiest way to get through all five at
once.
And you'll see that it creates this valley
and it makes this go up there.
So we have valleys and peaks.
This is the valley.
Then we're going to chain one again.
So we're putting a chain one on each side of our DC5 together.
And then we're going to skip another chain.
So just be careful when you're working,
you see this big hole that we worked our last one in.
Here's our next one we're skipping.
And then we're going to do DC four
or one DC in each of the next four stitches.
So we're skipping the next one and going into the one after
and doing three more,
one in each of the chains.
Okay, now our actual
Our next stitch repeat is going to begin.
So in our next chain, we're going to double crochet five times.
So that's going to create the peak,
that's going to make the mountain and make it turn.
So we're going to do five double crochets in this next chain.
This is the beginning of our stitch pattern repeat.
I'm going
to go over what we just did here.
We're going to do four double crochets, one in each of the next chain.
So one double crochet in each of the next four chains.
Then we're going to chain 1 and skip our next chain,
and then we're going to do a DC 5 together
over the next 5 chains.
Okay, here I am at the last of my 5,
so I have 6 loops on my hook, point down and pull
through all 5, chain 1 and skip that next chain,
so again look for that big hole where
you're pulling from, there's the next one,
then we're going to double crochet in the
In the next four stitches, four chains,
Okay, and then we're going to repeat
that one more time until we get to this very last chain.
So let's do that one more time and then we'll be pretty much done.
So we're going to DC five times
in the next stitch. That makes our peak.
There's our fifth one. Now we're going to DC one time in
each of the next four chains.
And then we're going to chain one and skip our next chain
and DC five together in the next five chains.
So I'm going to yarn over and pull through all, and chain one again,
skip that next chain for that big hole, there's your next chain,
then we're going to DC four times, and that should,
if we're doing it right, leave us with one chain at the end,
and it's going to be a mirror of what our very first stitch was,
kind of, because the chain...
Three counted as one of our double crochets.
Here we actually have to make that double
crochet. So I have one chain left,
so I'm going to do three double crochets in that very
last chain. Then that's going to finish off my row one,
and then all we have is a row two repeat.
So once you get row two down,
you don't have to pay attention to your pattern anymore.
But let's look at our chevron we've got going on here.
This is very nice and pointy.
I'm going to point something out after our row two repeat,
but let's go do that first.
Okay, so now for row two,
we're kind of just doing the same thing that we just did. It's just
that we are working in two stitches instead of chains.
So what we're going to do is we're going
We're going to chain three.
And you can actually do a tall chain if you'd like.
I'll link my tall chain tutorial because
that's always a nice edge, but we'll stick with a chain three for now.
Then we're going to double
crochet two times in that same stitch,
kind of just like what we did on row one. It's like we're
skipping our chains instead of creating them.
Then we're going to double crochet once in each of the
In the next four chain or four stitches, not chains.
Alright, here we are. So this is where you have to pay attention
because this is where you end up losing stitches if you're not
counting correctly
so we have to chain one we have to skip the next stitch and then we're
going to dc5 together
so we skip that next stitch here is my next one look for your v's
the dc5 together of the row below should be your third stitch
so if i go up you can see
that v sitting on top so right now i'm in one i have another v there
Three for that middle stitch, four and five.
So look at your V's because looking straight ahead
you might skip that chain one from the row below because it's so small,
but you have to work into it or you're going to lose stitches.
Pulling up, yarning over.
Again, I can look at my V, turning it sideways.
I can see I'm under the second one.
Now I'm going to go under the third,
which is actually my dc5 together of the row below,
so pay attention to that as you work.
If you're missing that, if that's not your third stitch,
you're missing your chain ones.
Again, this next chain one is tiny, it's hard to see,
it's hard to get under,
so you're going to have to sit there and push through to get it,
and then you'll have that number four, and then here's number five.
So take your time until you're used to those stitches
so that you don't miss one.
So we're going to chain one,
we're going to skip the next stitch, so again I'm pulling,
I can see there's my last stitch of the dc5, there's a nice big hole,
this is my next stitch that I'm skipping,
and I'm going to dc4 in the next four, or dc1,
in the next four stitches,
and then that should put me right at the top of my peak.
of the five DCs in one stitch.
So again, that's your other marker.
If you are not at the top of your stitches,
you missed something somewhere, back up and find it.
So here's all the DC fives together.
One, two, three, four, five.
Here's my middle one, and that's where I'm at.
And now I'm doing another five in this stitch.
So we're repeating what we did below
but just it's a little bit different because you're working
into stitches instead of chains and you have
to pay attention especially at that valley.
If you're
not counting your stitches
as you're doing it you might miss one too when you're making these so
make sure that you have five.
Now we're going to do one DC in the next four stitches.
Here we are
We are in our valley.
So you're going to get pretty used
to this stitch pattern pretty quickly,
but you need to pay attention during this portion.
You're going to chain one,
skip one, don't forget to chain one and skip one,
and then you're going to do your DC5 together.
Again, turn it sideways if you don't see your stitch well.
Here's my middle stitch, I'm on
number three, so here I have my DC5 together from the row below
so I know I'm on track.
Here I am going for number four through that small little chain
and then my fifth. So we're
repeating that.
We're repeating that all the way across
but we'll just keep going because this is
the only one I'm doing.
This is this is row two repeat that we just keep on doing. So we're
chaining one. Here's my big hole from the last stitch.
Skipping that next one and working
one dc in each
of the next four stitches.
That should put me right
at the top of my
Here's my five. One, two, three, four, five.
Here's my top, so I'm good.
Five in here, and then we're going to go four.
Oops, I almost lost it.
We're going to go four down, almost to the end of the row.
This is a somewhat relaxed and crochet project.
You will need to pay attention slightly
at these valleys, but once you get the hang
of how they look, it should be pretty mindless.
You should be able to watch some TV at the same time.
Just don't forget your chain one, don't forget to skip,
and don't forget to hit those chain ones
from the row below
when you're doing your DC five together.
One, two, DC five together from
the last row.
This one's my least favorite one
to get into because of my chains.
They're kind of tight there,
so it doesn't want to get into it super easy.
You could technically go around the entire thing
if you want, so let me show you.
If you just go in the big hole there,
I'll show you what that looks like so you can see
the difference if you want to do that.
And then one in the very last stitch.
The only problem is when you do that,
don't work into it, you've got to work into the
next stitch.
So you have to pay attention
to that if you're going to go all the way around.
Pull through, I'll show you once I finish.
Chain one, skip that next one.
DC in the next four? And then this last stitch
is going to look a little strange on the first
repeat because it was really a chain three that we had skipped,
so you have to still work into it.
So it doesn't look like a stitch really, but this is that chain three.
So you're gonna do three
double crochets in that chain three,
just like we did on the last stitch of the row below. Okay.
And that is your repeat. That's what you're going to do just over
and over again until you get. Mine is
50 inches. If you're using different yarn,
keep going until you run out of yarn. Just save enough
so that you can stitch it up at the end.
I'm going to link my mattress stitch tutorial so that you
can go watch that if you need it.
You can also do a single crochet join if you like. I'll link that
that as well, but...
Looking at this, oh and I was going to show you how it looked
when you go all the way around.
So here's going all the way around on that one,
and then here's going through the chain on this
one. So you have all the way around here and through the chain.
So it's not a huge difference,
it's really what you prefer.
But if you do do that, make sure that you're paying attention
and that you don't forget like where you're supposed
to work your next stitch.
So if you notice, the bottom of this, it has a point,
a point, a point, so it has three points.
The top of this has three valleys, or kind of,
yeah, we'll call it a valley, three Vs.
So when you finish your scarf,
The ends, so this would be your top end,
this would be your bottom end, they will fit together
perfectly because these points are going to fit right in there.
So even though it's a chevron,
it's going to line up exactly when you finish your scarf
so that you can mattress stitch it,
or single crochet it, or whatever you'd like to do for
your join.
I would block it either before or after if you need to.
Certain yarn like this yarn probably needs
some blocking. See how it kind of curls up a little bit?
So it would look better blocked.
Usually natural fibers look better blocked.
I have a blocking tutorial as well. But
that is really all there is to this scarf.
You're just going to keep doing that
over and over again. I have the pattern below so that you can
Follow along with the written instructions if you need it.

pattern. I would love to see what colorways you make it from,
