I have three boys. I do not get to buy stuff with hearts, rainbows or fluffy clouds. I went all out on finally getting to make a super-girly accessory. Browsing Ravelry I'd seen several rainbow scarves. They were all basically the same so I just winged it. I got out a rainbow of similar-weighted yarn, all washable acrylics, and got to work.
Here's a simple tutorial if you'd like to make your own!

Rainbow! Hearts! Fluffy Clouds! |
Materials:
Worsted weight yarns (any number of colors)
Fluffy white yarn (for clouds)-- I used Baby Bee "Lambie Pie" from Hobby Lobby
Pink worsted weight yarn (for heart)
Tools:
Size G crochet hook
Yarn needle
Scarf:
Ch between 152 and 252 ch (depending on child's --or adult's-- height).
R1: Dc into 3rd ch from hook and each subsequent ch. Change colors on the last stitch, using the new color to complete the stitch.
R2: Ch 2, turn. Dc into each st.
Repeat R2 until you have finished all the colors of your rainbow. Weave in ends.
Clouds (make 10):
With white fluffy yarn, make an adjustable ring and ch 1. Sc 6 into ring and pull closed.
R1: 2 Sc into each st (12)
R2: (2 sc into next st, sc into next st)* rep to end of round (18)
R3: (2 sc into next st, sc into next 2 st)* rep to end of round (24)
R4: (2 sc into next st, sc into next 7 st)* rep to end of round (27)
Fasten off and leave tails.
Using the yarn needle, overlap five of the circles to make a fluffy cloud shape. Sew them together with the yarn tails. Sew the assembled cloud to one side of the scarf end. Flip cloud over and sew the remaining circles to the back of the cloud, lining them up. You may lightly stuff the cloud if desired. Weave in ends.
Heart (make 2):
Refer to THIS pattern to make big pink hearts. Thanks Red Heart and fabulous designers!
Sandwich the hearts together and stitch the bottom halves together. Insert the end of the scarf and continue stitching them together through the scarf. Weave in ends.

ReplyDeleteso cute. pinning this.
ReplyDeleteim making one now. I'm so excited ,, the whole scarf came along great...as for crocheting with the fluffy yarn i'm having issues i can't see where to go in the loop again... it's so different from using regular yarn but i want this special look? how did you make it easier....
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one who has trouble with it! I do it mostly by "feel". I can feel the stitches and where the hook goes. Here's some great tips: http://crochet.about.com/od/tipstroubleshooting/tp/Eyelash_Yarn_Tips.htm

This is adorable. Would it be ok if I made some up to sell at local craft fair? I think the young girls would love them!!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I can use my yarn stash colorful bits to make this scarf for Operation Christmas Child! Thank you!
