Waffle Stitch Hat and Scarf Set
Pics are clickable to see full image
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn in two colors
I hook for set, J hook to attach fringe
Yarn needle for weaving ends
Paperback book for fringe
Scissors
Scarf:
Make chain in multiples of 4 +3 till chain is the length you want the scarf to be.
Row 1: Sc in each chain to end, fasten off. Join second color, ch 3 turn.
Row 2: Dc in next st, ch 2, sk 2 st, *dc in next 2 st, ch 2, sk 2, dc in next 2 st* to end. Fasten off (leave several inches, this will be added to the fringe later), join first color Ch 3, turn.
Row 3: Dc in next st, going behind the chain two, *trc in next two st, dc in next two* to end. Fasten off, join second color, Ch 3, turn
Repeat rows 2 and 3 as many times as needed to get the width you want. Do one row of sc in the color you started with.
Wrap both colors of yarn around a paperback book (or a VHS tape) a whole bunch of times (I didn’t count, I just wrapped till I was bored lol) slide yarn off book, cut the whole bunch across the bottom.
Using a J hook, attach two strands of each color across the width of the scarf on both ends. Now give the fringe a bit of a haircut so it’s nice and even across =)
Hat:
Note: do first two rounds in one color, after that, alternate colors each row. For this part I just carried the dropped color along and crocheted over it.
Row 1: Ch 1, 6 sc in ring; join to 1st sc.
Row 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each sc across. Join. (12st)
Row 3: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next) around. Join. (18st)
Row 4: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1in next 2) around. Join. (24st)
Row 5: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 3) around. Join. (30st)
Row 6: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 4) around.
Join. (36sts)
Row 7: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 5) around. Join. (42sts)
Row 8: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 6) around. Join. (48sts)
Row 9: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 7) around. Join. (54sts)
Row 10: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 
around. Join. (60sts)
Row 11: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 9) around. Join. (66sts)
Row 12: Ch 1, (2 sc in next sc, 1 in next 10) around. Join. (72 sts)
Note: An easy way to determine where to stop increasing. Measure across the circle.
For a head size 18” around it should be 5 - 5.5” across
Pre-teen and teen 20-22” it should be 5.5 - 6”
Ladies 21-23” it should be 6.5 - 7.5”
These are rough measurements I took to make it easier to use different hook/yarn sizes or stitches. Just be sure that the row you end on is a multiple of four and the waffle will work out just fine.
(still alternating colors, only now you won’t be carrying the dropped color. Just drop it and pick up the next color, it won’t be noticeable from the outside and from the inside it looks rather like a whip stitch… you can cut the yarn each row if you like to weave a lot of ends… I don’t!)
Row 13: Ch 3, dc in next st, ch2, sk 2 st, *dc in next 2 st, ch 2, sk 2, dc in next 2 st* to end. Join with sl st using next color.
Row 14: Dc in next st, going in front of the chain two, *trc in next two st, dc in next two* to end. Join with sl st with next color.
Repeat row 13 and 14 till hat covers ears.
Last two rows: sc in each st around with the color you started with. Fasten off, weave ends.
I LOVE THIS MARVIE!!! I can’t wait to make my own. It is so neat looking, great work!
You do beautiful work. Love your originality!
Is there a row missing for the scarf pattern? After row 2 it says to repeat rows 2 and 3, but there is no row 3.
Thank you.
Stacy
I’ve corrected the problem. Thank you for letting me know Stacy!
What if you just want to do one single color? Do the instructions still work out the same?
Am I being dense? Reading row 13 of hat pattern I’m supposed to repeat *dc in next 2 st, ch 2, sk 2, dc in next 2 st*, which leaves me with four dc followed by a chain 2 space all around till I get to the end of the round and it’s all messed up. Am I doing something wrong or is that second “dc in next 2 st” not supposed to be there?
Marvie,
What a great hat and scarf pattern!
I work for a non-profit group called Siuslaw Outreach Services in Oregon. We offer assistance to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and poverty. We give vouchers for the sorts of things all people should have, like food, shelter, medication, showers, etc.. Recently I have begun a group- called I’ll Cover You- it is a hats for charity sort of thing, where a group of ladies and men, young girls and boys if we can find them- get together and on their own crochet and knit hats. We then offer them at craft sales for donation only-With each hat that a person gives a donation for- they get a little card, thanking them for their gift, which helped to keep someone’s utilities on in the dead of winter, or paid for their prescriptions or propane so they could cook, etc. We are always looking for patterns but take care in not finding patterns for charity use or ones we can get permission for their use for that purpose. Would you consider allowing us to use your pattern? 100% of the earned goes to direct services, not even to the cost of the yarn, which is donated by the people doing the work.
Thanks for your time in considering our request. Great patterns:)
