Preschoolers are cute right? Well so should their scarfs be.
This little bear hug was inspired by a certain 5 year old I know who melts my heart like butter.
This pattern is a 'prototype' and I will be adjusting it dramatically soon, but I couldn't wait to share it. I am new at writing down my patterns, so please let me know if I have been unclear and I will try fix it.

-In this pattern ‘ch 2, turn’ does not count as first hdc, unless otherwise specified.
-Work through both loops of stitches unless otherwise specified.
- It is important to read each step through before you complete it, as I have given instructions based on common sense as opposed to giving exact stitch counts (because I always loose track anyways)

This scarf was born of frustration. I walk alot, so I take my little iShuffle and clip it to whichever surface is readily available. To my constant irritation, the 'biter' isn't very strong and pops off at the littlest tug. So I decided to crochet a solution. A simple scarf, short and out of the way of my waving arms, with a little pocket for my wayward music player.

Options
-Measure your music player of choice to make sure that it will fit in the pocket. If not, add stitches or rows to the Pocket Body to ensure a good fit.
-Instead of a blanket stitch along the end of the scarf, I have made tassels, left it plain or crocheted a decorative border.

I've been tossing this idea about for a while and I finally did it.
It took me all of 2 hours to make two of these and write the pattern.
I love the bullion st and placing it in this position on the neck warmer makes it look like a big flower.
Don't worry the pattern is all in one and very simple to make.
I am choosing to hide the buttons from view as not to spoil the bullion effect.
I am sure there will be more varieties of this one, such as colour effects a larger hole in the centre of the flower to accommodate a very nice centre peice button and the idea's go on and on.

Bullion St. Neckwarmer/Scarflette/Scarf

Materials: 12 ply yarn (worsted weight) less than 50 gms

Special Stitches: Bullion st, yarn over hook 5 times, insert hook into st, pull up a loop pull through all 6 loops on hook. BLO = work stitch into the back loop only, of st indicated DC = Yarn over hook, insert hook into st, pull up a loop, yarn over hook, pull through 2 st’s, yarn over hook and pull through 2 st’s again. Sc= Insert hook into st, pull up a loop, yarn over hook and pull through both loops on hook.

Begin.
Ch 4, sl st to first chain to form a ring

Row 2 of pattern. Work 1 dc in very first dc, work 1 dc in each sc across, ch 1 and turn (10 dc and ch 3 turning ch)

Repeat row 1 and row 2, 12 more times, (24 more rows of pattern) ending with a dc row, then sl st across 10 dc and fasten off

Button Placement
Place buttons beneath circular bullion to hide from view. The buttons will do up nicely in a dc.

To make a scarf
Using this pattern to make a scarf can be done easily by making 2 of the above, omitting the sl st ending and ending one side with a sc row, then join together. Make them as long as you need.

You can use 1 large button or 2 or 3 smaller buttons. Button placement is entirely up to you. I folded down my flap and sewed a button on the flap it’s self and made a chain length to suit the button size for fastening.
Another option is to sew the buttons under the flap area so the opposite end of the neck warmer sits under the flap. Enjoy the pattern

I have made this set for my Step daughter Bec', it will be her birthday on the 24.04.

I wrote my own beret pattern, as I wanted to use 2 strands of 8 ply yarn for extra thickness (16 ply). You can use any old type of beret pattern available.

I have supplied a free pattern for the Beret and Scarf on my blog.

I was looking at a bag of yarn my grandmother gave me, filled with 25 rolls of yarn in all sorts of colors. I shoved my hand in and pulled out a bright red yarn and decided that I needed a matching scarf for a hat I made about 2 months ago in the same color. I introduce to you the CHECKERBOARD SCARF! :-D
I asked my sister to model the scarf and with that she pressed it against her stomach so you can see the stitch better. The flash on my camera was making it very hard to see the stitch.

Size K 6.5 mm Boye hook
2 balls of red yarn
A good memory! and some patience =].

Any size you want this scarf is versatile!

no specific gauge feel free to expand.

Checkerboard stitch. Ch 24+3 as your turning chain. DC in 2nd ch from hook (DO NOT DC IN THE ADDED 3!!!) Dc in next 2 chs (you should have 3 DC's now) *ch 2, skip 2, dc in next 3 sts. Repeat from *.

Ch 24 (or any multiple of six, but make sure to add 3 as ur turning chain. It is very important that you remember this!

Row 1: dc in next 3, ch 2, skip 2. repeat to end, ch 3 turn.
Row 2:skip first dc, dc in 2nd dc, 2 DC IN ch 2 sp(this gives you 3 dc's.) repeat to end.
*MAKE SURE YOU DOUBLE CROCHET IN THE CH 2 SPACES AND NOT THE CHAINS ITSELF. THIS WILL GIVE THE SCARF AN ODD SHAPE!*
repeat row 2 until scarf is desired length. finish off & weave in ends.

If you have any questions about this pattern please contact me and I will try to explain it better to the best of my ability.

On one end of my scarf I crocheted a heart and stitched it on. to get the heart pattern I used go to this website: http://www.karpstyles.com/crochet/heart1.html I only used the heart directions i didnt try the granny square.

Enjoy!

This is a pattern for a "conversation hearts" scarf. It's really pretty basic. You're going to make a whole ton of heart motifs, then join them all together. This could also be adapted to turn this into a blanket.

Worsted Weight Yarn in candy heart colors. The scarf pictured uses 5 different colors–white, purple, pale yellow, pink, and green. One skein of each. The example uses a "light" worsted acrylic.

Size F/4.00mm crochet hook

Yarn or tapestry needle

One heart motif measures 4" (10.2cm) across. Finished scarf is approximately 51" (128cm) long.

One heart motif measures 4 inches (10.2cm) at the widest point.

To help in thinking about this as you construct the hearts, the hearts are a three round granny square. One corner of the square is used as the point of the heart. The heart’s “bumps” are placed on two of the sides.

When I constructed the example, I made 10 hearts in each of 5 different colors. I ended up with two left over. I still think this is easier than telling you to make 9 of two colors and 10 of three, because assembly can be confusing.

Good luck!

HEARTS (make 50, 10 in each color)

ch 5. Join with sl st to form loop.

Round 1: ch3 (counts as first dc). 2 dc into loop, ch2. [3dc, ch2] 3 times. Join with sl st to top of turning chain. Turn.

Round 2: ch3 (counts as first dc). 2 dc into ch-2 space, ch2, 3 dc into same ch-2 space, ch1. [skip next 3 dc, 3 dc into ch-2 space, ch2, 3 dc into same ch-2 space, ch1] 3 times. Join with sl st to top of turning chain. Turn.

Round 3: ch3 (counts as first dc) 2 dc into ch-1 space. Ch1, skip next 3 dc, 3 dc into ch-2 space, ch2, 3dc into same ch-2 space, ch1. [Skip next 3 dc. 3 dc into ch-1 space, ch1, skip next 3 dc, 3 dc into ch-2 space, ch2, 3 dc into same ch-2 space, ch 1] 3 times. Join with sl st to top of turning chain. Turn.

Round 4: sl st in next 3 dc. Sl st in ch-2 space. [Skip next 3 dc, skip ch-1 space, skip next dc. 10 tr in next dc. Skip next dc, skip next ch-1 space, skip next 3 dc. Sl st in ch-2 space] twice. Turn.

Round 5: [hdc in next tr, ch1] 9 times. Hdc in next tr. Sl st in ch-2 space of previous row. [hdc in next tr, ch1] 9 times. Hdc in next tr. Sl st in ch-2 space. Fasten off, leaving a long tailing end.

Assembly

To assemble the scarf, sew four hearts together into a square, like this:
VV
VV

Sew one more heart into the center, covering the hole between the hearts. Arrange the hearts at random or by formula.

Enjoy!

This scarflette looks complicated, but is actually very quick and easy to make, and you can get to use very small amounts of scrap yarn.

Scrap yarn
Suitable crohet hook

As long as you want!

Doesn't matter

Ch 28, make a ring. Ch 3 (=1dc), 1 dc in 1st ch, 2 dc in each st, sl st in 3rd ch.
Ch 3 (=1 dc), 1 dc in 3rd ch, 1 dc in next st * 2 dc, 1 dc, in 2 next two sts * continue from * to *, 1 sl st in 3rd ch. Cut yarn and fasten off.

Next circle:
Ch 28, make a ring going through the first ring – continue as described over.

The third circle goes through both of these circles. The fourth circle goes through the second and third circle, and so one, till desired length.

If this doesn't make sense to you, please read ktutcher's comment under, that explains it brilliantly. Thanks, ktutcher!

this scarf was done using one strand of blue rainbow boucle from joann fabrics, and one strand black TLC amore. the long front post double crochets are done by splitting the yarn in your fingers... the black makes the long front post double, the blue makes a normal double in the stitch behind it. this means the pattern ends up on the right side of the scarf, but the wrong side stays solid with no holes to speak of.

the back side of the scarf will look like this:

if you look closely, you can see very faint indications of how the back sides of the split lfpdc stitches are just blue instead of blue and black combined.

• approximately 1/2 skein of the joann rainbow boucle in blue
• approximately 1 skein of TLC amore in black.
  • obviously these amounts would change based on the length you choose to make your scarf.
• 5 mm (size H/8) hook

8" wide, 8 feet long.

ummm... yeah. it's a scarf. do whatever works.

this scarf is made holding 2 strands of yarn throughout, unless otherwise noted.

SPECIAL STITCH: split long front post double crochet (lfpdc).
at stitch indicated, separate the two strands of yarn in your fingers. i found that wrapping one strand around my index finger and one around my middle finger worked well. using black, YO, insert hook around dc 2 rows below, YO, pull up loops, YO and pull through first 2 loops on hook. using blue, YO, insert hook in dc below, YO and pull through 2 loops on hook (you should now have 2 black loops and 2 blue loops on the hook). combine yarns again, YO and pull through remaining loops on hook to establish as 1 stitch.

chain 28.

row 1: in 3rd chain from hook, work dc and in each ch across. 25 dc.

row 2: ch 3, turn. dc in each dc across.

row 3: ch 3, turn. work dc in first 4 dc, *work split lfpdc, dc in next 4 dc*. this will establish the right side of the work.

row 4: ch 3, turn. dc in each dc across.

row 5: ch 3, turn. dc in first 2 dc, *work split lfpdc, dc in next 4 dc*, dc in last 2 dc.

row 6: ch 3, turn. dc in each dc across.

repeat rows 3-6 until scarf reaches desired length.
