Notes from the Designer:

Imbrication is French for “interlocking.” I designed this scarf with my brother-in-law, who went through a rough patch in life, in mind. I wanted to remind him that we are all connected, that our lives are intertwined, and that even if one feels alone, there is always someone whose life interlocks with ours. The Interlocking Stitch creates a neutral design that suits everybody. Even though it might look a bit challenging, it is an easy stitch that uses basic crochet stitches, such as chains, single crochets, and double crochets.

  • Click here to watch a tutorial on how to work the Interlocking Stitch pattern.
  • The sample shown used approximately 960 yds / 878 m total.
  • This pattern is worked in rows. Each row ends with a ch1 before turning your work. This ch1 does not count as a stitch. This means your first sc for the next row goes in the first stitch of the row.
  • We recommend alternating skeins when working the pattern to ensure the colors blend.
  • Always carry the yarn for the next row in front of the yarn from the previous row. This makes the sides even and the forming of the hem easier.
  • Rows are finished as follows: Sc, carry yarn up, ch1 with yarn you will use for next row, turn work, start new row with sc in very first stitch of row.
  • You can place a stitch marker in the first and last stitch of the row to help see where to place the stitch.
  • The first time you work Row 2, add a stitch marker halfway through to mark the RS of your work.
  • To adjust the width of the scarf, use any odd number of foundation single crochet stitches to start.
