The Danish Necktie Scarf Pattern, UK terms (US in brackets)
Size: Approx. 7cm wide x 120cm long
Skill level: Beginner/Intermediate
Stitches used: Crocheted Rib - Ss into BLO and decrease stitches to form the points at the ends. A row of dc (sc US)
Pattern Notes: We are going to start in the MIDDLE of the scarf, crochet up one side, decreasing down to the point of that end, then we cast off and go back to the start of our work. We cast onto the stitches of the third line (video for details) and then we make the other side of the scarf decreasing down to the point on that side. We finish off with a dc row (sc US) around the outside edge, starting in the middle of the wide part and ending there too (doing this makes the pointed ends as neat as possible)
My biggest tips for this pattern, make sure you count each row carefully, it can be fiddly to find the stitches sometimes (don’t crochet too tight, this makes stitches hide : S) so at the end of each row do a quick check before you turn. Don’t make your stitches too tight, this ribbing can be super tricky if you don’t relax your hands and let the yarn flow freely when you stitch it.
