Does anyone know an EASY crochet pattern for a men's scarf? Preferably something with Shetland yarn.?

Answer 1

Scarf

Finished size: About 7 1/2” wide x 78’ long, including fringe.

Gauge: Rows 1-3 = about 7 1/2” x 2 1/4”

Pattern note: The “ch 2, turn” at the end of each row does not count as the

first dc of the next row.

With size I hook, ch 22

Row 1: Dc in the 3rd ch from hook and in each remaining ch across; ch 2,

turn. (20 dc)

Row 2: Dc in each dc across; ch 2, turn. (20 dc)

Additional rows: Repeat row 2 until the scarf measures 72” long(or the

length desired), ending with an odd numbered row. Ch 1, turn at the end of

the last row.

Next row (back side of scarf): Sc in each dc across; ch 13, turn. (20 sc)

Stout fringe (front side of scarf): Sl st in the 2nd ch from hook and in each

of the next 11 ch’s, sc in the first sc on the last row of the scarf, (ch 13, sl st

in the 2nd ch from hook and in each of the next 11 ch’s, sc in the next sc on

the last row of the scarf) 19 times. Fasten off.

Other end

With the back side of the scarf facing you, join yarn with a sc in the first st

of the foundation ch, sc in each of the remaining 19 foundation ch’s across;

ch 13, turn. (20 sc)

Stout fringe: Work as for the stout fringe on the first end.

Besides categorizing yarn left-overs in zip lock bags by color and type of yarn (you don't want to store wool with acrylics), and using the three ring binders with plastic sheet protectors for computer patterns or patterns I've cut out of magazines I no longer want, I also use some plastic holders to put my paperback books and leaflets in the binders. Annie's Attic has some in their last catalog. They slip over the pages of your book to the center and have a three hole punch on them to hook them into the binder. If you use the view binders, you can make decorative binder spines and covers for your categories of patterns. I also use the hard plastic magazine holders that you find in office supply stores and categorize patterns and pattern books by crochet, knit, cross-stitch, etc. You can also make these by taking a cereal box and cutting it on two sides diagonally and then covering with contact paper, fabric or whatever, but the hard plastic ones are cheap and come in lots of colors. If floor space for shelves to store the magazine holders is a problem, put some shelves up higher, around each wall to store them. It really helps keep them organized. I have 60 gallon plastic tubs for skeins of yarn, but cubicles would be more ideal if you have the space in a closet. Another room or two for yarn, crafts and sewing would be ideal!! =)
