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.
Sc in each chain to end, fasten off. Join second color, ch 3 turn.

Row 1: 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 2: 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 8) 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.
