Katiebird Scarf

Pattern Inspiration: This pattern was inspired by and designed for my dear friend Katie. Katiebird is her childhood nickname, and I thought it was the perfect name for this design. Katie is colorful and fun and loves to laugh, so I wanted to design her a whimsical scarf that will go with everything! She loved the idea of puff stitches, so I turned them into feather-like sections inspired by her nickname. This scarf and the coordinating mitts were made to match the original hat. Basic Information: Pattern is written in US crochet terms. Yarn: DK weight (weight 3). Yardage will vary based on chosen length. I used approximately 365 yards of Me and Ewe DK yarn (100% SW merino wool, 231 yards/100g) in the color Kingfisher. Hook: 4.5 mm, or size needed to meet gauge. Finished size: My sample scarf measured 5” wide by 54” long. The length is completely adjustable! Gauge: After blocking 19 sts by 7.5 rows in the main stitch repeat = 4” x 4”. See notes for details.
