Boho in Soho
Looking for an engaging knitting and crochet project? Look no further! Introducing the "Boho in Soho" scarf, a delightful bicraftual pattern that combines the art of knitting and crocheting into one stylish accessory. This unique scarf features a lovely textured drop stitch pattern, knitted lengthwise for stunning visual appeal, while its fringed ends are beautifully crocheted for an added touch of bohemian flair.
For those who prefer a simpler design, it’s entirely possible to omit the crocheted ends, resulting in a lovely drop stitch scarf of reasonable length. However, keep in mind that the standalone crocheted ends may not make much sense without the central knitted portion, which contributes significantly to the scarf's aesthetic harmony.
The crochet portions of this pattern are written using American crochet terminology, making it accessible for crocheters familiar with these terms. Whether you're an experienced knitter or an eager crocheter, this project offers a satisfying challenge. With a difficulty level marked as intermediate, you'll encounter essential techniques such as dropped stitches, increases, decreases, and basic crochet stitches.
Yarn Requirements: This pattern requires Anchor Style Magicline yarn, which is 100% cotton and features a lovely texture (69m/50g; 76yds/7.76oz). You will need 3 balls in total: 2 for the knitted section and 1 for the charming crocheted ends. This ensures that your finished product is not only beautiful but also comfortable to wear!
Needles and Notions: For this project, gather your 5mm (US 8) circular needles and a 6mm (J) crochet hook. You'll also need a yarn needle for weaving in ends, ensuring your work looks polished and professional.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 12 stitches per 30 rows in pattern, measuring 10cm (4 inches) for optimal results. This will help you ensure that your scarf turns out the right size and texture.
Finished Size: The "Boho in Soho" scarf measures a total length of 195cm (78 inches), including fringes. The knitted part alone measures 140cm (56 inches) in length and 14cm (5 3/4 inches) in width, making it a beautifully generous accessory for any wardrobe.
