“No cars go
Where we know
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream…” - Arcade Fire

This is the two color version of the No Cars Go Scarf Crochet Pattern, named after the song by Arcade Fire.

To me the song is about finding safety in a quiet place where you can shut out the world and get lost in your imagination, which makes it extra magical.

The chunky butterscotch and marble grey yarns used to make this scarf pair so well together! In this pattern, you’ll how learn to carry two colors/strands of yarn and how to change colors. Once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty easy!

The scarf works up fairly quick as the entire thing is made by repeating Row 2. Talk about mindless crochet!

The pattern contains clear, detailed instructions and pictures, as well as an additional section at the end with step by step instructions and photos for ALL stitches used!

Measurements:

4.25 W x 70 L

Materials:

1 skein each Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick in colors Butterscotch and Grey Marble (106 yd/97m, 170 g/6 oz, weight 6 – Super Bulky)

Size N (9.0 mm) crochet hook

Tapestry needle and scissors

It is super easy to customize this scarf to use any yarn or change the width or height. The scarf is crocheted width-wise and at the beginning the multiple to chain is given for those who would like to change the width, for example, if you would like to make a shawl instead.

The skill level of this pattern is beginner to advanced beginner. You only need to master one stitch and the pattern tells you how to do it step-by-step so even a beginner can handle this one. There is a section at the end that will help any beginner start to crochet with instructions and pictures showing how to make a sl knot, how to chain, etc. There are pictures and instructions for all stitches used in the pattern and I am here to help if you get stuck, but you’ll probably be fine!

To print without pictures, “Select All” in PDF and paste to a Word document.
