About this pattern

This project was made using my Tulip Square pattern. The square features basic stitches such as chains, double crochet stitches, and puff stitches.

It’s named after the tulip, which is a symbol of my country, the Netherlands.

About the yarn

For this scarf I’ve used Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca, which I also used for the Awesome Andrea Scarf and Hooded Scarf.

Touch of Alpaca similar to sheep’s wool but warmer, softer, and hypoallergenic. It’s a soft, silky, affordable luxury yarn available in 16 colors.

Assembly

Arrange all squares and triangles as indicated by diagram below with the good sides facing upwards. Sl st everything together using a loose tension.

Slip stitch tip: insert your hook in the front loop of the square on top, and in the back loop of the square below.

Edge

For a clean edge you can work a row of slip stitches around the scarf.

With a bigger hook, such as 10mm, work 2 sl st in each stitch or hole that you can find along the edge of the scarf. Try to keep the distance between holes as small as possible and use a loose tension.

Tassels

1. Wrap yarn around your phone 22 times.

2. Fold a strand around one end

3. Cut yarn on the bottom

4. Fold a strand around the top of your tassel, ½ inch / 1 cm from the top knot

5. Trim the bottom

Make 8 tassels and attach 4 to each short side of the scarf.
