Tulip Square Scarf

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.

Measurements

Width: 10”/25.5 cm

Squares

Square notes:
– Squares are worked in rounds with the right side facing you
– Beginning and ends of rounds will take place within same corner
– Sl st does not count as a stitch
– Reminder: make smaller puff stitches by pulling up 5 loops instead of 7.

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.

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.
