Waffle Stitch Scarf



This is a waffle stitch scarf.  It is done completely in double crochet with three chains at the end of each row for turning.

The pattern goes like this:

Chain a multiple of 3, add 3 ch for turning

Row 1: Dc in 3rd chain from hook and each ch across.  You should have a multiple of three plus the turning ch you started with.  Ch 3 and turn. The turning ch always acts as the first stitch in the row.

Row 2: Front post dc twice. Dc in next st. Repeat to the end.  Dc in top of turning ch in previous row. Ch 3, turn.

Row 3: Dc in next two stitches. Front post in next stitch. Repeat to end. Front post around turning ch of previous row.

(You will be doing regular dc in each front post stitch of the row below and front post stitch in each regular dc of the row below.)

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until the piece is as long as you want it to be.

Plan on using more yarn than you would for a flat, untextured piece of the same size.

Happy crafting.
