Baloolah Scarf
Watching snowflakes drift slowly down while waiting for the bus home, the air is crisp and fresh. Thoughts of hot chocolate and a crackling fire bring feelings of anticipation and homeliness. You snuggle your chin closer into the softness of the scarf feeling as though wrapped in a cozy blanket.
This scarf is a fun knit that is mostly worked in stockinette for simplicity, but kept interesting by its angular shaping. The blocks of contrast with a pop of colour give it visual interest along with some subtle texture and bit of eyelet lace. Worked in bulky yarn it makes a bold statement and is super cozy to wear!
Finished Size 6” wide by 95” long, including fringe, for bulky weight version; 5 1/2” wide by 86” long, including fringe, for worsted weight version.

Notions Marker (m); size E/4 (3.5 mm) crochet hook.
Gauge 15 sts and 20 rows = 4″ in St st for bulky weight and 17 sts and 22 rows = 4″ in St st for worsted weight, though getting exact gauge is not necessary for this design, but it will change yardage requirements.
Notes: It’s easy to miss a yo or forget the s2kp so remember to check your stitch count often! The stitch count should not change from what you cast on.
