Here’s a recipe for scarf (or shawlette) that is super fast, fun to make and funky to wear. It can be completed over several evenings, requires only basic crochet stitches and uses about 400 yards of worsted or aran yarn so it makes a great gift.

The scarves pictured in this recipe are both about 5.7 feet long. The length is really a matter of taste. I like to make mine as long as I am tall.

This pattern is especially good for self-striping yarns that change color gradually. The samples in the photos use Noro Silk Garden with a 6.5 mm (K) hook and Lion Brand Amazing with a 6 mm (J) hook, respectively. The pattern would work with any type of yarn. More yarn will be needed for a DK, Sport or Fingering version.

I used a 6.5mm hook with Aran wool and a 6mm hook with worsted yarn. Your mileage may vary.

Gauge is not important.
