Tip:
Choose a soft, drapable yarn to ensure your scarf or shawl feels luxurious against the skin and falls beautifully.

Materials Needed:

• Yarn: Mainstays Lollipop Yarn in the color Cottage (Alternative: Karen Latte Cakes or your favorite yarn)
• Crochet Hook: 5mm (or suitable for your yarn choice)
• Scissors
• Needle (for weaving in ends)
• Stitch Marker (optional)
• Cardboard (for fringe, 6 inches wide recommended)

Pattern:

Foundation Chain:

• Create a slip knot and place it on your hook.
• Chain 48 stitches.

In Row 1 (Setup Row):

• Turn your foundation chain around.
• Counting from the hook, skip 3 chains (these count as your first double crochet).
• In the 7th chain from the hook, work 2 double crochets, chain 1, and then 2 more double crochets into the same chain.
• Skip 3 chains.
• Repeat the step of 2 double crochets, chain 1, and 2 double crochets into the same chain space.
• Continue this pattern across the row.
• You should finish with one chain left, double crochet into this last chain.

Row 2:

• Chain 3 and turn your work.
• Work 5 double crochets into each space created by the chain 1 in the previous row.
• Continue across. This row creates what looks like little blossoms or clusters.

Row 3:

• Chain 3 and turn your work.
• Into the top of the 3rd double crochet of the next ‘blossom’ from the previous row, work 2 double crochets, chain 1, and 2 double crochets.
• Continue the pattern across the row.

Pattern Repeat:

• Repeat the last two rows (Row 2 and 3) for the pattern, alternating between the clusters and the 2 double crochets – chain 1 – 2 double crochets pattern.
• Continue until the scarf reaches your desired length.

Finishing:

• When finished, work a row of single crochets across the last row of the scarf for a neat edge.
• Weave in all ends with your needle.

Fringe (Optional):

• Wrap yarn around cardboard piece to desired length.
• Cut one end to release the yarn strands.
• Fold strands in half, and using a crochet hook, pull the looped end through the edge of the scarf from wrong side to right, feed the cut ends through the loop, and tighten to attach the fringe evenly across both ends of the scarf.

Final Tips:

• Be mindful of your tension to ensure even stitches.
• Use stitch markers if you are a beginner to help identify stitch placements.
• Customize the scarf with different yarn colors or textures to make it uniquely yours.
