Substituting Yarn

Yarn substitution is an essential skill for crocheters, allowing for flexibility when the original yarn listed in a pattern is not available.

The Color Block Granny Scarf is crocheted using Mary Maxim Natural Alpaca yarn, a blend of acrylic, alpaca, and viscose that falls under #4 worsted weight. However, I’ve doubled the yarn by holding together 2 strands to achieve a super bulky weight yarn. It’s important to note that Natural Alpaca leans towards the lighter side of a worsted weight yarn.

If you’re considering substituting the yarn for this pattern, I’ve compiled a list of suitable alternatives on the next page, including options for super bulky weight yarn. However, it’s crucial to crochet a gauge swatch with your chosen yarn and adjust your hook size accordingly to match the pattern’s specified gauge for correct sizing. This step is crucial to ensure that the scarf turns out as intended.

Pattern

The Pattern Stitch is worked in a multiple of 18. Hold together 2 strands of worsted weight yarn to make a super bulky weight yarn. When changing colour work the last yarn over of the last stitch with the next colour.

Row 1:

With A, ch 36, work 3 dc in the 5th ch from hook, sk next 2 chs, 3 dc in next ch, sk next 2 chs, *(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch, [sk next 2 chs, 3 dc in next ch] twice**, sk next 5 chs, [3 dc in next ch, sk next 2 chs] twice, rep from * to ** once, 1 dc in last ch, turn—38 dc, includes turning ch.

Row 2:

Ch 4 (counts as 1 dc), [3 dc between next 2 clusters] twice, *(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next ch-2 sp, [3 dc between next 2 clusters] twice**, sk sp between next 2 clusters, [3 dc between next 2 clusters] twice, rep from * to ** once, sk next cluster, 1 dc in turning ch, turn—38 dc.

Rows 3-74:

Rep row 2, working in the following colour sequence: 27 rows A, 20 rows B, 27 rows C. This is an extra-long scarf measuring approximately 88-92″. Reduce the number of rows for a shorter scarf.

Tassel Making Instructions:

Cut 40 yarn strands in B, each 14 inches long.
Cut one 20-inch length of yarn for the tassel ball and another 20-inch length for tying to the scarf.
Tie and knot the 40 strands together with the 20-inch length at the halfway point.
Use the 20-inch yarn length to tightly tie around all the strands, creating a small ball shape. Knot and weave the ends under the ball, and then trim the excess yarn.
Finally, attach the tassel to the scarf by securely tying it to the three peaks at one end and the two peaks at the other end of the scarf. Weave the tails through the tassel ball and trim the ends.
