Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% merino wool
- Tunisian Crochet Hook: Size J (6.0 mm)
- Gauge: 16 stitches x 14 rows = 4 inches in Tunisian simple stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Foundation Row
Begin by making a slip knot and chaining 40 stitches. This will form the foundation of your scarf.
Next, using your Tunisian crochet hook, pick up a loop in each chain across. You should have 40 loops on your hook.
For the return pass, yarn over and pull through one loop. Then, *yarn over and pull through two loops*; repeat from * to the end of the row. This completes your foundation row.
2. Row 1: Tunisian Simple Stitch
For Row 1, work a Tunisian simple stitch (Tss) in each stitch across the row. Remember, Tss is made by inserting your hook into the vertical bar of each stitch from the previous row and pulling up a loop.
Complete the return pass as established in the foundation row.
3. Row 2: Tunisian Knit Stitch
In Row 2, switch to the Tunisian knit stitch (Tks). To do this, insert your hook from front to back under the vertical bar of each stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
Finish with the return pass as previously established.
4. Row 3: Tunisian Purl Stitch
For Row 3, you will work the Tunisian purl stitch (Tps). Insert your hook from back to front under the vertical bar of each stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
Complete the return pass as established.
5. Repeat Rows 1-3
Continue repeating Rows 1-3 until your scarf measures 60 inches or your desired length. This will create a beautiful texture reminiscent of a garden.
6. Bind Off
To bind off, work a slip stitch in each stitch across the last row. This will secure your work and give it a neat finish. Once you reach the end, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
7. Optional: Add Fringe
For a whimsical touch, you can add fringe to your scarf. Cut 8-inch strands of yarn and fold them in half. Attach each strand to the ends of the scarf using a lark's head knot. This not only adds flair but also enhances the garden-like motif of your scarf.
