First one out the gate: a braided infinity scarf. I was trying to learn a cable stitch and it just wasn't happening so I decided I would make a cable by braiding together strands instead. This is a test for a bigger scarf for later so it is a little short to be doubled and thinner than your typical infinity scarf, so I'll be giving this to some little girls I know will enjoy it. I'm using some left over yarn from other projects, the white is a Waverly Yarn, and the marble yarn is from Red Heart. Pattern below, I'll post "The Big One" when its finished.
Braided Infinity Scarf
Skill Level: Beginner
Materials: 2 colors of yarn (any type), 9.00MM crochet hook
Braid Strands: make 7 (I did 4 in white and 3 in the marble)
Row 1: ch. 151 - turn
Row 2: working in second chain from hook sc in each chain 150. tie off
Connecting Strands:
To connect the individual strands lay flat with back side facing up on all strands then string together with a single row of sc. I turned and added a second row of sc so i could work with it to connect the ends.
The Braid:
I actually used this VIDEO to learn the 7 strand braid. Really easy to follow.
Just laid everything on a flat surface and braided.
Finishing:
At the end of the braid I connected the ends together with another row of sc. then attached the ends of the scarf together with another row of sc. Tied off and tucked in all the ends.
