As much as I have been trying my very hardest to get all my past projects journaled in order, every once in a while one gets out of place. Bummer. Lauren’s crochet flower fringe scarf was part of a larger custom order I had done toward the beginning to middle of November. In fact, this scarf was part of a matching hat and scarf set. Indeed if you look back a few entries you will see a post for Lauren’s Crochet Flower Newsboy Hat. So please disregard the slight misstep in order while I back track to add this entry to my stitching journal.

Flower Fringe Textured Crochet Scarf Project Info:

Hook Size: 5.5 mm (US size I)
Flower Fringe Textured Crochet Scarf Pattern Info:
It just so happens this pattern is a Stay@Home Stitchings original. That being said, I did have a little help in the flower fringe design using the book Crochet Borders book you see pictured below. The image is a link to the book on Amazon. If you would like the complete flower fringe textured crochet scarf pattern you can find the link to the pattern here.
Yarn used for the flower fringe textured crochet scarf:
Black: Caron Simply soft party in black sparkle colorway
Watermelon: Caron Simply Soft Brites in the watermelon colorway
To be sure, you can use any worsted weight size 4 yarn to stitch something similar.
Additionally, other good choices to use would be Lion Brand Pound of love, Vanna’s Choice and Red Heart Soft. Without a doubt I would recommend any of these.
A good place to check out to see if you could find good yarn sales are the Lion Brand Website or the Create For Less website. Knit Picks also has a variety of worsted weight yarns to choose from that I will also share links for below that you could use to stitch this up as well. The list won’t be exhaustive, so make sure to check out their website yourself if you don’t find anything I’ve shared to be what you’re looking for. They definitely have a LOT more options than just what’s posted here.
What hooks and tools are needed to make this crochet project?
For this project I used U.S. Size I (5.5 mm) hook.
Something else that comes in handy if you decide you’d like to stitch these sets up for yourself is a good set of crochet hooks. My favorite brand to use are the Knit Picks brand.
I also have a cute little set from Amazon that I love too. You can buy this one fairly inexpensively and it comes with some tools and notions that will be helpful too. Several buying options to choose from and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them. 🙂 I also have the light up set pictured below. I love that it’s rechargeable!
Make it even more fun and get the whole beginner crochet kit.
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?
In conclusion, that should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. If you feel like you might need a little extra assistance and want online classes to help you, check out the link below for Annie’s and Crafty websites. I take online classes often to improve and advance my skills. You can always learn something new!
I taught myself to knit and crochet through kits that I found at my local craft store, so there is always that option as well. I’ll share links to kits similar to what I used that you can also find on Amazon if you can’t find at your local craft store or can’t get to one soon.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any help. If you are more interested in custom ordering one already made, you can contact me for that as well. I still sell the finished items. You can contact me here or find me in my Etsy shop: Stay@Home Stitchings
Happy Stitching!
