Ingredients
- Yarn: Red Heart® Super Saver® O’Go™ — 2 O’Gos, Prints: Rainbow.
- Crochet hook: U.S. I/9 (5.5 mm)
Instructions
- Make the foundation chain. Chain 206. The scarf is worked lengthwise, so this chain determines its length. Avoid twisting the chain before you begin the first row.
- Work the first row on the right side. Make 1 half double crochet in the third chain from the hook. Make 1 half double crochet in each chain to the end. Turn. You should have 204 hdc.
- Begin the main fabric. Chain 2. Work 1 hdchb in each half double crochet across the row. Turn.
- Work the first section. Repeat the previous row until the scarf measures 2½ in. (6 cm) from the beginning, ending on a wrong-side row. Measure the fabric flat and avoid stretching it while checking.
- Make the first keyhole row. On the next row, which is a right-side keyhole row, chain 2. Work 1 hdchb in each of the first 60 stitches. Chain 12, then skip the next 12 stitches. Work 1 hdchb in each remaining stitch to the end of the row. Turn.
- Work into the chain space. Chain 2. Work 1 hdchb in each stitch up to the chain-12 space. Make 1 hdc in each of the next 12 chains. Work 1 hdchb in each remaining stitch to the end. Turn. Take care to place one stitch in each chain, rather than working into the opening as a single space.
- Continue after the keyhole. Chain 2 and work 1 hdchb in each stitch across the row. Turn. Repeat this row until the work measures 3 in. (7.5 cm) from the keyhole row, ending on a wrong-side row.
- Make the second keyhole. Repeat the instructions in Step 5: chain 2, work hdchb in each of the first 60 stitches, chain 12, skip the next 12 stitches, then work hdchb to the end of the row. Turn.
- Work the final section. Repeat the plain hdchb row as in Step 7 until the work measures 2½ in. (6 cm) from the last keyhole row, ending on a wrong-side row.
- Finish. Fasten off. Weave in the yarn end securely without pulling the fabric tight or distorting the edge.
Notes
The pattern specifies the measurements of the sections surrounding the keyholes but does not give a total scarf length. If you want to check the fit as you go, lay the scarf flat and compare the position of the openings with how you expect to wear it.
