The Graduate Scarf is a texture-rich creation. With meditative and easy stitches, you will love making and wearing it. Because it can be scaled up to a cozy shawl or down to a quick bandana using whatever yarn you have on hand, it is the perfect project for gifts and stash-busting. The clever texture created by the short rows will leave everyone wondering if it is “really crochet”!

The pattern includes detailed written instructions, photo and video tutorials, as well as a custom interactive yarn calculator to help you figure out the optimal size and yarn needed for the scarf of your dreams!

YARN + HOOKS

This pattern has been written to use any yarn weight available combined with the hook of your choice. There is no specific gauge to work with, instead you should strive to create a fabric that is both cosy and light. Following are the suggested yarn/hook combinations for this pattern, however feel free to modify the yarn weight or hook to create the desired fabric.
Fingering weight yarn - 3.5 or 4 mm hook
Sport weight yarn - 4.5 or 5 mm hook
DK weight yarn - 5.5 or 6 mm hook
Worsted weight yarn - 6.5 or 7 mm hook
