This post contains everything you need to know about stitching up my Flower and Car Fringe Textured Scarf Crochet Pattern. Initially this was two separate patterns. One pattern for the Flower Fringe, and then another pattern for the Car Fringe. But it didn’t make sense to keep them as separate patterns. In short the only difference between the 2 was the object you stitched up at the end of it. The rest of the pattern is exactly the same. Therefore I decided to combine them all into one. So…you may only want to stitch flowers or you may only want to stitch cars. However you get a buy one, get one in this pattern whether you wanted it or not. LOL

Why Flowers and Cars and not just fringe?
Why Flowers and Cars you ask? Please do not judge me or hate me for what I’m about to share. I am not a huge fan of fringe. 😱 You know the kind I’m talking about….the strips of yarn tied to the edge of a blanket or garment. I know some people really love it. We may not always agree on things, and that’s ok. This is one of those times where if you love it….we are going to have to agree to disagree on it.
So, I guess that might have you finding it ironic that I created and designed a scarf with fringe. LOL This isn’t the loose, dangly kind of fringe which is the kind I don’t care for. This Fringe will be nice and neat and tidy. It shouldn’t tangle or wad up or fray. And with this being a kids scarf….that is kind of an important feature. You know how rough and tumble kids can be, so you want the scarf to be durable and know that it’s going to last whatever they put it through.

Not only did I stitch these in Lion Brand. but also Caron Simply Soft Party Yarn, Wool-Ease, Create For Less website. The Lion Brand Yarns can be found by following the link above or below:
Other shopping options include: LoveCrafts, Knitpicks/We Crochet, and Knitcrate.
What hooks and tools are needed to make these?
If you are just starting your stitching journey, chances are you don’t have tools yet. I highly recommend doing your research and reading reviews to figure out what you like best. I will include my recommendations, but definitely read and find what works best for you.
My favorite brand of hooks to use are the Knit Picks brand. They are so beautiful and well made. I have a wood set of the crochet hooks as well as this padded handle set. I love them both! For these smaller flower projects you will need the smaller hooks, so make sure you check the sizes of the sets you are ordering. I posted an additional option for a complete set you can find on Amazon below.
As promised here are a few sets from Amazon that would be great too. I don’t think the light up set pictured below has the smallest hook sizes but I think that looks kind of awesome and it would work for the bigger flowers and other crochet projects you would make. I love that it’s rechargeable! Again, be sure to do your research and read the reviews. If you buy a good set of hooks it’s likely you will never need to buy another set again, or at least not for a very long time. Doing your homework to make sure you are making a sound purchase is always a good idea.
Additional Tools for when your wrists and/or hands ache
If you are like me and you knit and crochet a lot, something that I have found is useful at times is a pair of stress relief gloves. I own a few different kinds, but I do think any of them is better than not using anything at all if your hands and wrists are bothering you. I’ll include a few links for you to check out.
Need a little more help?
Maybe you’re completely new to crocheting and don’t know how to do it at all. Consequently this makes you feel like you might need a little extra assistance. If so, you might want online classes to help you. With this in mind, check out the links below for Craftsy or Annie’s. To be honest I take online classes often to improve and advance my skills. You can always learn something new! I actually taught myself to knit and crochet through “Teach myself” kits. In addition I’ll share a link for something very similar to what I purchased for myself below as well. Additionally I recommend you find your local yarn store and check out what they have available. There are almost always options there to learn.
If you run into any issues trying to stitch this scarf up, please do not hesitate to contact me. I’d be happy to help you! Just comment here or email me at the address provided in the pattern. I’d love to see pictures of your finished scarves!!
Happy Stitching!
