Hello Maker friends! It’s Deni again, the maker and designer behind DeniMade. I’m excited to share this cozy scarf pattern with you just in time for the cold weather!

Wrap yourself in cozy warmth this winter with the Astrid Scarf! This scarf is over 6 feet of lush doubled up fabric to keep you extra toasty on those frigid days!

The giant poms (or tassels) on each end are the perfect accent to this modern scarf.

This scarf works up surprisingly fast and makes a great last minute gift. It’s also a unique addition for market prep. Let’s grab our materials and get started!

Notes

This pattern is written in US terms.
When changing colors, use your preferred method. I simply tied on the new color and kept going.
We will NOT be joining at the end of each round, instead we will work in a continuous round. I suggest using a stitch marker to mark the first ST of each round. Move the marker up as you go.
The images throughout the pattern are for visual aid only and do not necessarily represent the size you are working on.
This pattern uses HDC in the back loop. Keep in mind that HDC in the back loop and HDC in the third loop are NOT the same thing.
When doing color changes, I suggest going through both the back loop AND the 3^rd loop for the very first row of each color change.

Cinching Your Ends

Thread your tail through your darning needle.	Work your needle in front of and in back of each stitch along the very top row, alternating as you go.
Once you get all the way around, gently pull your yarn and close up the end of your scarf.	Cinch it as tightly as you can and weave your end back and forth making sure its secure. Repeat for the other side.

Now it’s time to finish off your scarf. You can choose to add faux fur poms; large fluffy yarn poms or large tassels, depending on the look you are going for. All three options make for a GREAT looking scarf!

Here are some of my tips for perfect yarn poms!

The largest sized Clover Pom-Pom Maker works best for this scarf.
Be generous when making pom-poms. Don’t be shy, use that yarn. The more yarn you use the fluffier the pom will be.
Use very sharp scissors to cut the yarn! Blunt scissors will ruin your poms.
After cutting the yarn, use two strands of yarn to tie very tightly. (I use 2 strands so the tails don’t break while I’m tying them.
Trim, trim, trim! Shape those poms. I always make sure I get them as perfectly round as I can before attaching them to the scarf. There’s nothing better than BIG, FLUFFY pom-poms!

Let’s attach our poms…

You will need the pom you just made, your scarf, darning needle and a button (optional). The button will not show so it doesn’t matter if it matches or not.

Thread your pom tails through the needle. Insert the needle through the middle of one of the ends of your scarf and pull through.

Thread each tail through different holes in your button.

Tie tightly and make sure you can untie it to remove as needed.

Tuck the button and tails inside the scarf. Whenever you need to remove your pom, just untie it.

That’s it! I hope you love your Astrid Scarf as much as I do! 🙂
