My little blog received its one millionth visitor last week! I am so excited and honored to be part of such a wonderful community of stitchers. Here is a scarf that I crocheted with some festive yarn I have been saving for a special project. It is a simple double crochet scarf, with a fun twist...instead of fringe, it has fun celebratory curlicues at either end!
This is the perfect scarf for special person's birthday or other special occasion...the yarn reminds me of confetti and the curlicues are like party streamers!
Thank you lovely stitchers for so much great fun, may we have many more adventures to come!
Celebration Scarf
By Jennifer Dickerson
Sizing:
- Width: 6 inches

Instructions for Body of Scarf:
Ch 18
Row 1: dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch.
Row 2: ch 3 and turn. 1 dc in each space across row.

Thank you so much! I'm saving this one for a special birthday present scarf.
DeleteLuvin' them thar curlicues!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks! ;)
DeleteWow! This is to die for gorgeous! I love the curlies. I am a knitter but I would love to learn how to do these. I wish I could make them by knitting. I just ordered some Tweed yarn. I plan to make a cowl. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment! The cowl you are going to make sounds like it will be lovely as well. :)
DeleteI love this scarf & the curliques! Even though it is an easy double crochet, the yarn makes it look a lot more complicated & sophisticated. I'm gonna have to go buy this colorway of Tweed yarn. I love it! I also love all your crochet patterns. I just wish I had time to make them all! :) Also, I don't knit but see a lot of patterns I wish I could make. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That yarn caught my eye in the store, I didn't know what I wanted to do with it at first, but I had to have it!
DeleteThis is a beautiful scarf! The curlicues caught my eyes right away and I had to tackle them. I do have a question though, what about blocking? I am questioning the effect of water on this yarn? What do you suggest?
ReplyDeleteRosina
This yarn used for the project above is acrylic, so blocking probably won't make much (if any) difference. The scarf shown above was not blocked, it gave nice stitch definition and laid nice and flat, so I wasn't worried about it.
DeleteThis yarn is machine washable too, I looked it up on Lion's website, here are the care instructions from their product page:
"Product Care Instructions: Items made from this yarn may be laundered through the use of hottest available water, detergent or soap, agitation, and a machine designed for this purpose. A machine dryer may be regularly used at the hottest available temperature setting."
I hope that helps! Happy crocheting to you!
Hi. I am new to crochet but have loved doing this scarf, as an easy stitch to do, but very effective with the curliques. However I haven't been able to source this yarn anywhere. Is there somewhere in the UK that stocks it and does mail order? Thanks again for the pattern. Looking forward to doing many more projects in this new hobby. You could say I'm hooked! Micki
ReplyDeleteHi Micki! Not sure where you would find the yarn in a store in the UK, but you could always order it online at lionbrand.com. I did a little research for you and they definitely ship to the UK and accept the British Pound. I find that the customer service is good and you can get things on sale (always a bonus :)
DeleteGood luck, I hope that helps!
Hi Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI'm on to my 2nd scarf from your patterns (the Pavement Infiniti scarf!) It's going to be a lovely gift for my far-away sister when it's done and shipped off :)
As for this pattern- I'm going to make this pretty one for my little girlie but i'd like to make a matching little toque/hat with earflaps or a tie of some kind so it stays on her head. How would i go about doing that? Is there a pattern or pointers you have to guide me on that little side project? Thanks so much! Love your work and thanks for offering the lovely patterns to us crocheters! :)
Thanks for your kind comment! So glad you like the patterns! As for the hat I don't have any crochet hat patterns yet, but if you knit, I have several kids hats, just click on the "free knitting patterns" tab. Hope that helps! :)
DeleteThanks! I looked through the patterns for knitting and they are adorable! The funny thing is, i'm not the knitter- my sister is! Haha! So i guided her to your blog to try some of your knitting patterns! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe now i'll find a cute knit hat in the mail for my little girlie :)
My girlie's scarf is looking adorable though! Love this pattern! :)
Thanks again!
Thank you! A knitter and a crocheter in one family is a wonderful thing!! :)
DeleteHi there
ReplyDeletelove your blog, I'm new to crochet as I sew for a living I actually can't put crocheting down once I start and I don't get that with sewing.
A bit tricky cos I'm from the UK, your is our treble some times I forget.
I sew iphone and ipad covers, so if you could come up with a pattern for gadet covers I'm sure it would be just has fantastic as all the rest of your stuff!
Thank you! That sounds great, I will definitely keep that in mind. I do the exact opposite, I get UK treble mixed up with US double...sometimes I crochet for a while and wonder why it looks so different! :)
Deletesorry I missed the word double out
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteGood Morning Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if there is a knit verson to this scarf? I just can't seem to grasp the crochet thing. :( I can get the twirls if they are like the potato chip scarf, just smaller.
Thanks, Teri
:( I am sure you are busy I have looked in a few diffrernt places to try and get this verson in a knit pattern. But can't seem to find one. I did try to crochet this and just ended up frusterated and stoped.
