One Caron Cake Crochet Scarf Free Pattern

Green Shoots – a one Caron Cake crochet pattern

I have had a bit of an obsession with self stripping yarns of late and as a result I’ve been busy designing to combine them with new stitches I’ve learnt.  I have designed made and gifted this beautiful scarf that’s perfect for all seasons and has interest because of it’s unusual but very effective stitch design. It’s great over a coat on a chilly winter day or just as a shoulder wrap for cool summer evenings.

Once you get the hang of the pattern it’s very straightforward and quick to make.  At one caron cake it’s perfect for that ball of wool you purchases because you loved the colours but have never worked out what to use it for. You can find Caron Cake Yarn at Love Crafts HERE.

Pattern Notes

This scarf is worked by turning at the end of each row.  The pattern is worked over 4 rows, repeating rows 2 to 5 throughout.  Rows 2 and 4 are similar but have slight differences, as do rows 3 and 5, it is therefore important to follow the pattern throughout so stop and check you are still following it regularly and that the pattern is forming correctly, taking note of the arches at the ends of the rows.

I highly recommend you create a swatch to get the feel for the pattern and to check your gauge.
