As promised, the pattern for the MOM AND DAUGHTER CROCHET ALONG SCARF, A.K.A. "The Wildflowers Scarf"!
PATTERN TERMS: US
My patterns are all written in US terms - I have included this little chart to make it easier for my UK readers to reference the difference in stitch terms.
Skill Level: Easy
Approximate Time: 2 hours
Yarn:
I used Elle Escapade DK for the first scarf and Lollipop DK for the other two
Any DK (8 ply / Light Worsted Weight) or Aran (10ply / Worsted Weight) Yarn would be suitable
Hook Size:
I used a 6.00mm for the foundation chains and a 5.50mm for the rest
Use whatever hook size suits your choice of yarn and your tension.
Size:
Width - 13cm
Length - 164cm (excluding embellishments)
SCARF
Foundation: with a 6.00mm hook crochet 24ch
Change to 5.50mm hook
(I use a slightly bigger hook to crochet the foundation chain - gives a more even start to the workpiece)
Repeat Row 2 until scarf is required length (I made mine 164 cm - over 125 rows)
Working across the length; 3ch (counts as 1dc), 2dc into same sp post; 2dc into each post; 6dc into last post at end of row;
working across the width, 2dc into each 1ch sp; 6dc into last 1ch sp at end of row;
working across the length, 2dc into post directly after 6dc; 2dc into each post; 6dc into last post at end of row;
working across the width, 2dc into each 1ch sp, 3dc into same space as start 3ch, sl st into top of 3ch to close.
I quite fancy the reverse single crochet although I have to admit it is a bit fiddly. For a beginner a regular single crochet edging might be a more comfortable option.
The scarf can be worn as is or you can really go to town decorating it!! Add a few wildflowers, or beaded braids / tassels!
SMALL WILD FLOWER
Make a magic ring.
Row 1: 3ch (counts as 1dc), 1dc into the ring, 5ch; (2dc, 5ch) x4 (5 petals formed), sl st into sp between 2dc to close;
Row 2: Join yarn in space between two dc (1ch; 6hdc into 5ch sp, 1ch, sl st into next sp between two dc) x5 (the last sl st being worked into the start 1ch); break off yarn
LARGE WILD FLOWER
Make a magic ring.
Row 1: 4ch (counts as 1trc), 1trc into the ring, 5ch; (2trc, 5ch) x4 (5 petals formed), sl st into sp between 2dc to close;

Embellish your flowers with additional stitchwork, embroidery, beads and buttons! (No rules! Just have fun!)
