Alethea had scarf envy and handed me a small ball of wool yarn. I knew I needed an airy design to compensate for limited resources but she also wanted a warm scarf.
I called the pattern Chasing Buses since my other daughter just started taking classes at the U of M and she had multiple bus adventures today. The solid parts represent the streets and the holes are her footsteps in the snow as she ran.
The first row is the filet stitch followed by 3 rows of double crochet.
Here is the pattern.
Use the crochet hook size recommended by the weight of your yarn. This scarf was done using a G hook.
I chained on 30 stitches since the scarf is worked in a repeating pattern of three and I prefer odd numbers.
Insert your hook in the 6th chain from the hook and DC, chain 2, DC in the 3rd chain from the last stitch. Repeat DC, chain 2, DC until you reach the end of the chain. Chain 3 and turn. (You now have a row of 9 filet stitches)
The chain 3 is your first stitch.
2 DC in the chain 2 space. DC in the top of the previous filet double crochet stitch. Continue across the first row. Chain 3 and turn. You will have 28 DC stitches.
DC across the top of the second row. When you get to the end, chain 3 and turn.
DC across. You now have 3 rows of solid DC. When you get to the end, chain 5 and turn.
The chain 5 is one side and the top of your first filet stitch. Double crochet in the 3rd stitch over. Chain 2. Repeat DC, Chain 2, DC until you reach the end. Chain 3 and turn.
Do 3 more rows of DC followed by a filet row. Continue pattern until you achieve the desired length. I would have added fringe to the ends but ran out of yarn.
