Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Create Granny Squares
- Make 8 granny squares following the motif instructions above. Weave in ends and block them to ensure even shaping.
Step 2: Assemble Granny Squares
- Lay out the granny squares in a single row.
- Join the squares using a slip stitch seam or whip stitch along their edges.
Step 3: Add the Scarf Body
- Attach yarn to one end of the joined granny squares.
- Row 1: Work a row of seed stitch across the top edge of the granny squares. Continue in rows until the desired length of the scarf is reached.
- Repeat on the other side of the granny square row for symmetry.
Step 4: Add Tassels
- Cut strands of yarn approximately 10 inches long.
- Group 4-5 strands together, fold in half, and use a crochet hook to pull the folded end through the edge of the scarf. Pull the loose ends through the loop and tighten to secure.
- Attach tassels to each corner of the granny squares and along the ends of the scarf body.
Tips for Success
- Blocking Granny Squares: Ensure the squares are uniform by blocking them before assembly.
- Tension Consistency: Maintain an even tension when working the seed stitch to avoid puckering.
- Tassels: Use a tassel maker or cardboard to ensure uniform tassel length.
