The Bonfire Scarf was inspired by a cold November evening in the park. The warm glow from the bonfire, the crackling sparks and embers, the sweet aroma of wood smoke. The anticipation in the air as we held hands to stay warm while we waited for the start of the firework display.

The scarf is crocheted with chunky or Aran variegated yarn. The stitch pattern uses a simple combination of slip stitches and half trebles worked in the back loop to produce a lovely cosy textured scarf which will keep you warm on the coldest November evenings. Choose your favourite colourful yarn, grab your hook and have fun crocheting your new scarf!

The original Bonfire Scarf shown above was made with King Cole Cottagespun Chunky, 2x150g balls in colourway Ember Glow, using a 6mm hook. Length 160cm, width 20cm.

You can make your Bonfire Scarf as long and as wide as you like. The pattern gives the starting chain and number of rows needed to make the original version of the scarf in King Cole Cottagespun Chunky.
