This is my "Super Quick and Easy Scarflette." It is made with bulky yarn and a size K hook, so it works up very quickly. I made this version in under an hour, fringe and all. But if you are not into fringe, you can omit it, and be done even quicker. I think this version is more my style:
I love this old Sarah Coventry pin; it reminds me of my mother.
And you can wear it lots of different ways, too: A sophisticated, Audrey Hepburn-ish way to wear a Scarflette.
You can make a couple of them from one skein of Homespun yarn, so it is pretty economical as well (I would never call any thing I made "cheap"!!!!)
Super Quick and Easy Scarflette
by Elizabeth Ann White
for BellaCrochet
Size: About 6” x 27”, excluding fringe
Materials:
3 oz. Bulky weight yarn (Homespun from Lion Brand Yarns was used for model)
Size K crochet hook
Gauge:
5 dc = 2”
5 dc rows = 4 1/2”
Row 1: Ch 17, dc in 4th ch from hook, dc in each ch across, turn. (First 3 chs count as first dc; 15 dc made)
Rows 2-30: Ch 3, dc in each st across, turn. At end of last row, fasten off. (15 dc in each row)
Fringe (optional)
Note: Fringe is worked in ends of rows on one side of Scarflette.
For each Fringe, cut 2 strands of yarn, each 12” long. Holding both strands together as one, fold strands in half. Insert fold in end of first row on one side of Scarflette. Pull fold about 3” through sp, insert ends of strands through fold. Pull ends to tighten. Fringe in end of each row across same side of Scarflette.

Now here is a super quick and easy way to make the fringe:
Measure around a dvd case or book to find one which has a circumference (I hope that is the correct word; I mean the measurement around it) equal to the length you want your fringe to be:We want each strand of our fringe to be 12" long, so this case will work nicely. Plus this is my favorite Christmas movie, so it I can watch it while I work! Wrap the yarn the number of times needed for the amount of Fringe you will need. We are putting two strands in the end of each row. There are 30 rows, so we will need to wrap the yarn 60 times around the case. Spread it out evenly, and don't wrap it too tightly.
Now cut the strands as evenly as possible. You can always trim the fringe after it is on the Scarflette if it looks too uneven.

Fold two stands of the cut yarn together for each fringe. Pull the fold through the end of the row with your hook. You will actually be working around the post of the last stitch on each row.
Pull the fold out a little.
Insert the ends of the fringe through the fold.
Pull the ends to tighten the fringe.

Here is another way to wear the Scarflette.
If you wanted to, you could sew 3 buttons to the Scarflette, and just push them through the stitches for buttonholes:

This project looks really cool. So quick too. This Homespun wool looks really nice. I've seen it alot on the net. Looks so good to work with. Looks as though it grows quickly.
Must have done if you got it done so quickly.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Happy Holidays to you.

So adorable, just love the version of wearing it on the side. Am going to make one of my friends this and also one for me. Thank-you so much for sharing with us.
Love it. I just wish the fringes didn't shed so much. I wore it for five minutes and my whole shirt was covered :( I took the fringes off. Any ideas on what to do with the yarn from the fringes? I'd hate to waste it ;)
Oh no, Josh-Shelly! I am sorry your fringe shed. I sometimes use scraps of yarn to stuff crocheted toys or dolls. I have also seen random pieces of yarn tied into garlands or banners (between the pennants.)
Tyvm Ann for the pattern
From Québec I follow you this morning and I'M a beginner and I have the right pattern for a beginner . Thank you so much. Marielle
