MY CHEVRON SCARF PATTERN
My Chevron Scarf
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn, amount of yarn will vary according to the length of the finished scarf.
Size H (5.00 mm) Hook

Notes: (1) When selecting a hook, choose one that makes a soft fabric. Depending upon your yarn you may need to use a larger size. (2) Turn the strip after the chains on each row. (3) Chain at beginning of the row counts as a hdc. (4) Long repeats of color will show up the chevrons best.
Scarf strip [make 2]:

of course 2 pieces....took me a minute to figure out why. mush-brain. i think this is going to be my "red scarf" project....
I've been doing this scarf, but with each chevron in an alternating shade of red, one candy apple and one brighter. It looks very interesting! I have the candy apple colour at the ends and the brighter colour will be joining the two pieces in the center.
I've been doing the same ol' scarves (yawn)since I started crocheting last year. What a great pattern!!! Thanks!!!
