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.

Materials List

Scrap yarn
Suitable crohet hook

Finished Size

As long as you want!

Gauge

Doesn't matter

Notes

The Pattern

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 is awesome! Thanks for posting!

I absolutely love this scarf, but (feeling very stupid) I don't understand the pattern. Can anyone say just in words how the scarf works? It's just beautiful!

In just plain words I think this is what the scarf is:

Crochet a circle using the first paragraph of instructions. End it and weave in the ends. This will look like a doughnut.

Then make the next 28 stitch chain, pass one end through the first doughnut before joining the ends and make your second circle and weave in ends.. This should start to look like the paper chains I made as a kid.

Make another 28 stitch chain, then pass it through both of the other circles. Make your third circle and weave in ends.

Make a 4th 28 stitch chain, pass it through the 2nd circle and the 3rd circle, join the ends and continue.

Every circle you add to the 'chain' from now on will pass through the last two circles you made.

Now that I've made a fool of myself, please feel free to correct me if I've misunderstood this pattern. I plan on giving it a try this weekend.

Ooops - I forgot to mention it looks like each circle is a chain foundation with 2 rows after that.
row 1: CH3(=1DC), DC in same stitch, 2DC in each stitch, sl st in 3rd ch at beginning of row to join
Row 2: Ch 3 (=1 dc), 1 dc in 3rd ch (same stitch as chain), 1 dc in next st * 2 dc, 1 dc, in 2 next two sts * continue from * to *, 1 sl st in 3rd ch at beginning of row to join

Oh! Thank you SO much. I get it, now. I can see where it's like a paper chain. Brilliant scarf! Now I can't wait to make one (or more). :-) Thank you, thank you. I guess I do better with concepts than with patterns.

Thanks, Ktutcher, you've understood it right, and explained it much better than I did. Good luck everyone!

Torirot,

This is a great pattern. Thanks for sharing - I just don't have the vision to make up something like this on my own. I did some playing this weekend and really like it. I'm not happy with my color choices, I need to do some more stash diving before committing to a whole scarf but I see myself making LOTS of these in the future.
