Yarnie A person obsessed with all things yarn . They always have something yarn related on them. They are usually multi-craftual. (Knit, Crochet , Weave) With interest more in the yarn itself verse what is made with it. They often hoard yarn that is very expensive just because they like th e yarn. -Urban Dictionary I still can't believe I acco mplished this project. It took me a lot of planning and a few trial runs before I finally got it to come together properly and it sure w as worth it! I am pretty proud of this pillow pattern and I'm so excited to share it with you! 😁 This is going to be pretty long so let's not waste anymore time and just get right into it. This pattern requires a 20 in x 12 in pillow form and is constructed with two panels, a front and back. Basically two crochet patterns in one. 😉 I purchased my pillow form from Amazon .com. It was actually a little difficult to find the proper size pillow I was going to need. I'll link it here to hope
One of my very close childhood friends, Jessica, messaged me one day asking for a custom scarf. She was looking for something over-sized and chunky, and in a color inspired by Winnie the Pooh.
Now, of course you can make this extra large scarf in any color you wish to but, if you enjoy the brassy color I made this in originally I will reference the specific yarn I used later.
To achieve a very bulky texture that wouldn't be too thick where the wearer would feel choked, I used to larger hook size and looser stitch as to give it a nice squishy texture. Using two or even three strands of worsted weight yarn held together would possibly give it an even better squish than this super bulky yarn.
I love the look of the Extended Half Double Crochet (EHDC) and I knew it was the stitch I wanted to use for this project. It's basically a Half Double Crochet and a Single Crochet in one stitch and it creates a beautiful texture. I also love this stitch for bulky blankets!
Materials:
I used Natural Blend Yarn by Big Twist in the color Aged Brass with a 10mm (N) hook. I was looking for a specific color and weight of yarn and this was the best I could find. Overall the yarn worked well; I give it a 4/5.
The finished dimensions before I seamed it together was 60'' x 15''.
3 balls of Super Bulky Yarn (size #6)
Crochet Hook in size 10mm (N)
Yarn Needle
Scissors
Pattern:
Foundation: Chain 110 sts.
Row 1: EHDC into the second stitch from the hook and in every stitch until the end of the row. Ch 2 and turn.
Row 2: EHDC into every stitch until the end of the row. Ch 2 and turn.
Row 3-11: Repeat Row 2 but don't ch 2 at the end. Leave a long tail and use it to seam the ends together to create an infinity scarf. Make sure the scarf is isn't twisted before seaming.
Weave in the ends and you're all finished!
