Cluster and Shells Scarf

Cluster and Shells Scarf

This pattern has been updated on Oct 28th to make it easier to follow. I added a few notes, abbreviations list and re-worded a few things in the pattern. Also, added the ch-1 to secure the cluster stitch.

This is the first crochet design where I prefer the wrong side over the right side. I love the way the clusters pop out as well as the half moon look of the shells. However, the right side is not bad either.

With one ball of red heart soft touch yarn you can make a scarf that measures at least 50 inches long. That is how long I made mine, and I had a small amount of yarn left over.

Material: Red Heart Soft Touch 1 5oz. ball.
Hook Size: H/8-5.00MM
Finished Width: 4.5″
