new crochet pattern - cobblestone road infinity scarf by tara schreyer.

Skill Level: Easy

The textures of this scarf remind me of the old beautiful cobblestone roads meeting the paved roads of the modern world.

This well written pattern includes a chart and figure pictures to serve as visual aids to the written pattern. It is made up of the simple stitches of single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet.

The pattern recommends using 705 yds/320 g of fingering weight yarn (2) but it would look beautiful in any yarn weight. I personally used Knit Picks Andean Treasure (100% Baby Alpaca) and a 5.00mm (H/8) crochet hook so it is lightweight and airy, yet warm.

Finished measurement (once blocked out): Approx 12" wide x 64" long (before joining ends)

sneak peek.

This cowl has been in my brain for over a year and I'm happy to say it has finally come about.

I love how it turned out! Simple stitches blocked out and 100% baby alpaca gives it a truly luxurious look and feel. Looking forward to sharing it with you in the very near future!

how to crochet the loop stitch.

The "loop stitch", thus named because of the long loops that it creates, is a fun way to add texture and visual interest to your crochet project.

To crochet the loop stitch, insert the hook in next st as shown below. 

Wrap the yarn, front to back, over first and second finger as shown below. The yarn on your fingers become the loop. Yarn over and draw though a loop. 

Carefully remove fingers from the loop. Yarn over and draw through both loops on the hook.

Check out how we incorporated the loop stitch in one of our amigurumi crochet designs...
