Quick Gift Crochet Pattern of the Month: February

Greystone Scarf & Hat
Design by Leshia Tweddle
The natural curl of Tunisian crochet lends itself perfectly to the fun, frilly style of this ruffled scarf. A more subtly designed hat perfectly complements the showier scarf.

Pattern Notes
If you wish to make a longer scarf you will need to increase the number of stitches in multiples of 9 stitches for every 1 1/2 inches. You will also need an additional skein of medium-weight yarn.
Tunisian crochet has a tendency to curl, so when working stitches in foundation chain on
Hat, insert hook under back bar of chain; this helps to minimize curling. On the Scarf, the
curling factor is intentionally used as part of design; therefore, it is not necessary to work stitches in back bars of chains.
Hat is constructed with 6 triangular pieces, with each consecutive 1 joined to previous triangle and last 1 joined to first triangle.
Ruffled part of Scarf is constructed using spaces that are naturally formed by Tunisian
simple stitch when made with large hook. These spaces are referred to as "mesh spaces"
(see Photo 1) in instructions and are used to create pleats across, resulting in the ruffle.
