Pattern Notes
- Weigh your yarn cake: ________ grams

- 430, 560, 715, 850 yards. I used #3 light weight Bernat Baby Sport in Baby Grey (all yardages are based on 72” scarf)
- Because I am a tight crocheter I used the I crochet hook to chain with, so the chain isn’t too tight. This will also keep it from buckling. If you crochet loosely then you really shouldn’t have to go up a hook size when chaining. Rule of thumb always check your gauge.
- Chain 1 at beginning of row only counts as a stitch in the granite stitch section
- This scarf is made in 4 different widths. Image is displaying a 8” scarf that is 72” long.
Special Stitches
- Hdc in 3rd Loop = With the front of the stitch facing you, look at the top of the stitch, and find the sideways “V”. Next, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop. When working across, like you are in the square the 3rd loop should be facing you.

Gauge: 2 rows = 1” of height
Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 2 sts, *4 dc in next st, sk 3 sts; repeat from * across, dc in last st. TurnRow 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 2 sts, 4 dc in middle of prev shell, *sk 4 sts, 4 dc in middle of prev shell; repeat from * across, sk 2 sts, dc in last st.

MISTY HOLLOW SCARF INSTRUCTIONS
Working with I hook
Make Two Panels
Ch 24, (32, 40, 48)
Working with H hook
Row 1 (RS): hdc in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across. Turn 23, (31, 39, 47) hdc
Fasten off.
With right side facing, attach yarn into 3rd loop of hdc at the opposite end of row.
Row 2 (RS): working in 3rd loop of hdc on prev row, hdc in each st across. Turn 23, (31, 39, 47) hdc
Row 3 (WS): Ch 1, working in 3rd loop of hdc on prev row, sc in each st across. Turn 23, (31, 39, 47) sts)
Row 4: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 2 sts, *4 dc in next st, sk 3 sts; repeat from * across, dc in last st. Turn 5 (7, 9, 11 shells, 2 dc)
Row 5: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), sk 2 sts, 4 dc in middle of prev shell, *sk 4 sts, 4 dc in middle of prev shell; repeat from * across, sk 2 sts, dc in last st. Turn 5 (7, 9, 11 shells, 2 dc)
Row 6: Ch 1, hdc in same st, hdc in first st of shell, sk st, 2 hdc in middle of prev shell, sk st, hdc in next st, *hdc in first st, sk st, 2 hdc between in middle of prev shell, sk st; repeat from * across, hdc in last st. Turn 22 (30, 38, 46 sts)
Fasten off.
With right side facing, attach yarn into 3rd loop of hdc at the opposite end of row.
Row 7 (RS): working in 3rd loop of hdc, hdc in east st across. Turn 22 (30, 38, 46)
Row 8: Ch 1, working in 3rd loop of hdc, sc in next 10 (14, 18, 22 sts), 2 sc in next st, sc in next 11 (15, 19, 23 sts). Turn 23, (31, 39, 47 sts)
Now you will start the granite stitch section. Be sure to keep your tension relaxed across this section otherwise your stitches will start to pull in the sides. Feel free to go up a hook size if needed.
Row 9 (RS): Ch 1, sc in first st, *ch 1, sk st, sc in next st; repeat from * across. Turn 23, (31, 39, 47 sts)
Row 10: Ch 1, *sk sc, sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1; repeat from * across, sc in turning ch of prev row. Turn 24, (32, 40, 48 sts)
My gauge was roughly 4 rows in 1” of height.
Repeat Row 10:
18 times or until that section measures 4 ½”
I recommend you write this number down so you have it for future reference. You will repeat this section in the future, and I am sure you will like the results better if each section is even. 😊
At this point your scarf should measure roughly 8 ½” from Row 1 to where you stopped. It is important that you end the granite stitch on a row where the (WS) is facing you. Make sure the next row is (RS) facing you when you begin working.
Row 11 (RS): Ch 1, hdc in each st across do *not* work into turning ch at end of row.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Repeat Rows 2-11, (3 more times for a 6 ft), (4 more times for a 7 1/2 ft), (5 more times for a 9ft)
On the last set of Panel One you will repeat Row 10 a total of 40 times.
Joining:
Both panels should be facing RS and shells facing upward. Be sure both panels are facing the same direction. Join both panels together at the sc row and granite stitch row.
Edging:
You will evenly sc along both sides of the scarf. Please note you will not be working a sc along the ends. Once you have evenly sc along one side of the panel, fasten off. Now you will evenly sc along the other side of the scarf. Do Not Fasten Off.
Now you will work the crab stitch along both sides and ends. You may wish to go down a hook size when working the crab stitch to make the edging look neater.
