Crescent Scarf

This easy shawl works quickly and is the perfect project for a cake yarn. I used one mandala cake to make this but could easily be done in a four weight with something like a caron cake.

         3 Weight Yarn (5oo yards)

         Size H hook (5.0 mm)

         Scissors

         Needle

Gauge

         4″ x 4″ =17 sts by 10 rows (1 round of 10 row repeat)

Abbreviations

         HBDC – herringbone double crochet

         dc – double crochet

         dec – decrease

         sp – space

         St(s) – stitch(es)

Notes

• I recommend placing a st marker on the side you always dec on so you remember whether you have to decrease or increase.

Repeat rows 5-14 until you reach the length you would like.

When it reaches the length you would like, fasten off and weave in ends. I recommend block this shawl into the crescent shape. Wet it and pin it down in a crescent shape.
