Soft Waves Scarf!

Hi, I’m Novella of Novella Bobo Designs! I have been a self-taught crocheter since 1983, designing unofficially from the beginning but now writing my patterns to share with you! If you would like access to my patterns as my library grows you can access them here https://www.ravelry.com/designers/novella-jewell-bobo-novella-bobo-designs. This scarf is lightweight so it’s not too bulky. The stitch pattern resembles the soft weaves of the seaside and the tassels represent the beautiful saltwater as it leaves the shore on the way back into the sea.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ch 27

Row 1: Dc into 4th ch from hook (the 3 chs counts as a dc throughout pattern), dc into next 3 chs, (dc2tog into next 2 chs) 2x, dc into next 3 chs, (2 dc into next ch) 2x, dc into next 3 chs, (dc2tog into next 2 chs) 2x, dc into next 3 chs, (2 dc into last ch), turn (24 sts)

Row 2: Ch 3, turn, dc into 1st st, dc into next 3 sts, (dc2tog into next 2 sts) 2x, dc into next 3 sts, (2 dc into next st) 2x, dc into next 3 sts, (dc2tog into next 2 sts) 2x, dc into next 3 sts, 2 dc in top of turning ch, turn – (24 sts)

Row 3-97: Repeat Row 2, fasten off leaving at least a 3” tail to weave in.

TASSELS:  

Cut 162 strands at 20” long, and separate the tassels into groups of 9 (this will give you 18 groups), the photos above will show you where I added them onto the scarf on both edges.  Add 9 tassels to each end of the scarf.

As you can see in the photo I added the tassels at the edges and each point of the stitch pattern, then in between those tassels at the mid-points.  Ensure that the loops’ ends are pulled through to the wrong side so the knots end up on the right side of the scarf.

FINISHING:

I like to steam block my acrylic, but I don’t get too close to the fabric or it can “kill it” which means to melt the material because acrylic is a plastic substance.  So, I try not to get closer than 6” from the piece, but I always see an improvement in the drape immediately!
