Play Hooky with Me | Design Your Own Bohemian Crochet Scarf Pt. 1 - The Granny Squares @PlayHookywithMe | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video I share how to make a bohemian style crochet scarf using a beautiful designer scarf as a guide. Please note, this is not an exact replica of the scarf, I am just using it for inspiration to help you see how to design your own as well as share some fun stitches that you can use for this scarf or for other sampler style projects.

There are a lot of components so this is the first of a series. I'll add links to the companion videos once they are published HERE:

Here is a link to yarn weights and the different way they are referenced:
craftyarncouncil.com/standards/yarn-weight-system

Scarf measures approx. 10 x 70 inches
Hook & Yarn :
To obtain gauge, I'd recommend using a Worsted (weight 4) yarn with a 4 mm hook
I'm using a 100% cotton yarn by Hobby Lobby
called "I love this cotton yarn".
Colors:
Parchment (for the Neutral)
Aqua
Buttercup
Pink
Stonewash Blue
Serena Spa
Coral
Rosey II

I also have Deep Teal and Sage that I'll probably include later but not sure yet.

If you don't have a hobby lobby near you, I'd also recommend:
Comfy Worsted by KnitPicks with a 4mm hook.

This yarn is slightly thinner so your squares might come out about 1/4" smaller but it's supposed to be in the same weight category (4)
You can see what it looks like in this video:

I'd recommend you use your favorite yarn. If you want it to look like the reference photo, I'd recommend using a merino wool or blend.
