Pattern for Silk Shell Scarf

I had several emails about the scarf so I thought I'd share what I know. Really there is no complex pattern, as I like to just work and not keep having to refer to a book or sheet of paper all the time.

I used Fiddlesticks Knitting Silk Sensationyarn in Sprout. It is 100% silk and has a wonderful matte finish to it. (50g = 115 meters approx. ) The finished project used just over one and half skeins of yarn.  My crochet hook was #5 or F. How much yarn you use depends on how long you want your scarf.

I worked in a basic shell pattern for the entire piece. Shell patterns are worked in multiples of 6 + 2. So if you wanted yours either thinner or wider you would adjust by removing or adding 6 chains. I started my scarf by chaining 18 + 2.

I followed the instructions for the shell stitch from The Happy Hooker. An absolutely priceless book for the basics of crochet. You can find a great tutorial for the Shell Pattern Scarf by Teresa <--there. It is exactly what I did, but I only chained 18 to start and I didn't follow her pattern. (as I just found it while searching around the fabulous internet)

Teresa's blog, The Art of Crochet and her video tutorials are fabulous! Simple and easy to follow she slows things down and is very nice to listen to.

Hope that helps!
