I made this yesterday as an antidote to a rather complex lace knitting pattern. It only took about 3 hours from start to finish, using a rather lovely self striping yarn from Erika Knight’s jazz colours collection. You can easily make it yourself if you can do double and treble crochet (English terms).

Make 2 strips of 250 chains (or to your required length), Double crochet (DC) 10 rows. The centre panel is a variation of a design in last month’s edition of Inside Crochet magazine called Circles Scarf (read a blog post from the designer here:

).

There is also a Ravelry link:

The centre panel is joined to the outer panels with a final row of DC. I added a short fringe to each end.

There is a very similar pattern in the Fall Edition of Interweave Crochet (http://www.interweavecrochet.com/issue/2010/fall/materials-fall-2010.asp#pink-asters-scarf)
