Pattern

  1. Starting Chain: Decide the width of your scarf. Determine the number of sea shell motifs for the width. Each sea shell motif consists of 6 stitches. For example, for 10 sea shell motifs, chain (10 x 6) + 1 = 61 chains.
  2. Row 1: Chain 3 (counts as first dc). Starting from the 4th chain, make 1 dc in each chain across. At the end of the row, chain 3 to turn your work.
  3. Row 2: Make 2 dc in the top of the first dc. Increase every second dc across the row. This will create the width of the scarf. At the end of the row, chain 3 to turn your work.
  4. Sea Shell Pattern:
    • Chain 5 (counts as first tr).
    • Make 4 more tr in the same stitch (total of 5 tr).
    • Skip 2 dc, sc in the next dc.
    • Skip 2 dc, make 5 tr in the next dc.
    • Continue this pattern across the row. At the end of the row, chain 3 to turn your work.
  5. Repeat the Pattern: Continue repeating the sea shell motif row until your scarf reaches the desired length. Make sure to keep the motifs even and aligned.
  6. Finishing: Finish the last row with sc. This ensures the edges of the scarf are neat. Cut the yarn and pull through. Weave in the ends on the backside.
