Free Crochet Pattern: Sunset Blush Hat and Scarf Set

 

 

Sunset Blush Hat and Scarf Set

With the holidays behind us, it’s time to take a break and focus on US! This Sunset Blush Hat and Scarf Set was designed with that in mind. It’s an easy set that works up quickly, and looks great in so many different yarn options. Choose a self striping yarn like I did for rich, and easy color changes or choose a solid for more vibrant stitch definition.

I chose Yarn Bee Fair Isle in the color Sunset Bluff. It is listed as a DK or light worsted yarn and has a light feel to it, with nice drape, that is still warm and luxurious. I chose a simple variation on a basic shell stitch for the pattern for a little textural interest, while allowing the color variations to shine through.

I hope you pamper yourself and make and enjoy this set.

I’m thrilled to have this set included in the 2018 Make It For Me series, don’t forget to check out all the other Make It For Me projects.

Gauge:

4 shells x 9 Rows = 4”

 

Abbreviations (US Terms):

Special Stitches:

Shell = [2dc, ch2, sc] in same stitch

Hhdc – herringbone half double crochet: Yarn over, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over, draw loop through the stitch and first loop on hook. Yarn over, draw through 2 remaining loops on hook.

Notes:

• Weave ends as you work.
• Stitch counts in ( ) at end of row.
• Beginning chains do not count as a stitch.

Hat – approximately 20” circumference, fits 20 – 23” head

Band:

Row 1: Ch12, working along back bump of chain, sl st in 2^nd ch from hook and each ch to end. (11 throughout)

Note: To change the size of the hat, add or decrease the number of repeats of rows 6 to 9, each repeat = just under 1”

Join: With right sides together, fold band in half and match stitches. Working through back loop of side closest to you and front loop of side furthest away from you, sl st seam closed (do not work too tightly). Do NOT fasten off.
