Amy's Hi-Low Crochet Scarf

Amy's Hi-Low Crochet Scarf@2004  By N.L. Banks

Another pattern for you, this time its a scarf I made for my daughter Amy.   It is easy to crochet, so I hope you like it. I made this using worsted weight yarn, but if you use a thicker yarn, it will be warmer, wider and longer.

Materials:
J hook
2 skeins 100% Acrylic yarn in any color (7 oz). A light color will show the stitches better. I used a Fisherman color, (cream)   

Note: Work all following rows thru back loops only.


With the J hook, chain 26.

Row 1: Sl st in 2nd ch from hook and in each of next 4 ch, * 1 hdc in each of next 5 ch, Slip st in each of next 5 ch; rep from * to end, Ch 1, turn.

Row 2: Work Slip st over each Slip st, hdc over each hdc. Ch 2, turn.

Row 3: Work hdc over each Slip st, sl st over each hdc. Ch 2, turn.

Row 4: Work hdc over each hdc, slip st over each Slip st, ending ch 1, turn.

Row 5: Work sl st over each hdc,  hdc over each slip st, Ch 1, turn.

Row 6: Work slip st over each slip st, hdc over each hdc. Ch 2, turn.

Repeat last 4 rows for pattern. Work, following pattern until you have no yarn left. This will make a nice long scarf.
