Curly Shirley Scarf

To join the Curly Shirley family – cardi and beanie – I’ve created a scarf with the increasingly
iconic ringlet curls at the end.

I’ve made the scarf relatively short (70cm/27” end to end, excluding curls), but have made a hole
near one end to slip the other end through, doing away with the need for length to wrap around.

And now, the pattern!

 FDC – Foundation Double Crochet
 FHDC - Foundation Half Double Crochet
 Joiner stitch - a joiner between FDC and dc: yo, insert hook into the v-stitch at bottom
of the previous FDC, insert hook into dc from previous row (where you’d normally join a
dc after a bunch of chains), yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull
through 2 loops.

Please note!! I crochet left-handed, so some of my photos might look ‘backwards’ - I hope this
doesn’t throw anyone!
