Anything but Drab Crocheted Scarf
Pair it with the Matching Hat
The olive drab color of this scarf prompted the name of the pattern, but it really is anything but drab. This easy to crochet scarf makes a great set when paired with the matching Anything But Drab Hat (click to see pattern).
With the slightly raised texture from working in the back loop only of some of the pattern rows, the finished scarf and hat have almost an Aran or fisherman's knit look to them. I'm going to work up a set in an off-white color to see if it more closely mimics that effect.
At approximately 4" wide, it doesn't quite fit into the skinny scarf category, but it's not big and bulky either. As written, the pattern will yield a scarf approximately 60" long, but if you'd like a longer scarf to wrap multiple times or to fold in half and feed the ends through, increase the starting chain in increments of 6 to increase the length by 2"each.

Row 5-9: DC in first st (turning ch becomes the SC), *sk 1, work SC and DC in BLO of next st. Repeat from * across, ending with regular SC in last st. Ch 2, turn (end of row 9, ch 1).

Post a CommentI'm sorry, Avani, I didn't measure it. It you used the same hook size and worsted weight yarn, it should be ok. If you crochet tighter or looser, you might have to adjust, but it should be easy to do.
I am making this awesome hat. Can any one tell me how big the finished rectangle looks like? I think mine came out small.
No, I do not have a face book account at this time, perhaps i should create an account, however Yes, I am working the last stitch, hopefully, I will figure it out
Thanks!!
I wonder if you're making sure to work into the very last stitch of each row? It's hard to find sometimes, but it's worked into the top of the turning chain. Do you have facebook? If so, look up my name there.
It is turning, as if I were making a collar
surely, as i work the pattern, i am getting a slight curve rather than straignt as a scart should be, did that help?/ maybe i should staighten the scart out as i go along, I am carefully counting stitches, I wish I could send a pic

Deborah, what do you mean by a small curve? Can you describe it better?
Hi, I am happy, I can follow this pattern, however can someone help me with this situation, Whenever I work patterns horizontally , there seems to be a small curve in my project,
Please advise!!
I love this scarf. I'm making this for a scarf bombing here in Bisbee, AZ. It is such an easy pattern to make, the only thing I've changed has been the colors. Thank you.
