Pink Ribbon Scarf Pattern

Finished Measurements: aproximately 5 1/2 by 42 inches Yarn: bulky weight, appproximately 175 yds. Hook size: J-10 AbbreviAtions chain = ch single crochet = sc st = stitch PAttern notes The entire scarf will be worked in single crochet working into the back loops only. This creates the grosgrain ridges.

The scarf is crocheted in ridges and has a single crochet border, imitating the texture of grosgrain ribbon. The scarf also features a keyhole, which keeps the scarf snugly in place (the keyhole can be left out if desired). The pattern is written for a bulky weight yarn, but it can easily be adapted to other weights by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.

Continue to work even in pattern on half the stitches for about 5 1/2 inches (or width of scarf). Join new yarn on other half of stitches and work even in pattern on that half for the same number of rows as the first half. Work across all stitches, rejoining both sides of the keyhole section. Work even for another 2 1/2 inches.
