In this video, I share how to make specialty stitches that are similar to the ones found in the Woodstock Crochet Scarf.

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.

Specialty Stitches:
A variation of the Cable Stitch
The Moroccan Tile Stitch
Treble Crochet Cross

If you are fairly new to crocheting or would be interested in trying other stitches for this scarf, here is a video with more sampler stitches that will work nicely for a scarf:

If you're working with a weight 4 yarn and a 4mm hook , it will take approx
40 chains to reach 10 inches. However the main specialty stitch requires a multiple of 3 (plus 1 or 2 depending on how you use it) so keep that in mind as your mapping out your scarf. This is explained in the video.

Here is a link to yarn weights and the different way they are referenced:

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.
knitpicks.com/yarn/comfy-worsted/c/5420171

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.
