I was inspired by a scarf posted by rubyflame over at Craftster.org and asked if she minded I do this and she said it was alright! :) So here it is, my scarf pattern inspired by her project which you can see
right here.
Materials needed:
Size I hook
Worsted-weight yarns
I used: Dark pink, gold, dark green, white, black.
This color arrangement will give you: pink meat middle with a row of gold caviar around it, some green avocado inserted beside it, wrapped in white rice, then covered in black seaweed wrap.
You can change the colors in your sushi roll if you like, of course, and adjust the row counts and placement accordingly.
Stitches used:
CH = chain
DC = Double Crochet, used throughout the rest of the scarf.
Notes:
As you begin changing colors, especially before making color change after gold and beyond, roll the scarf up (with the dark pink first, rolling it to the middle). If possible (this becomes easier as the piece grows longer), leave it rolled while working so you can observe the alignment of colors. If needed, adjust the length of your rows, because some yarns and crocheters may yield a finished piece that works up more tightly/loosely. The notated number of rows/inches worked up for my scarf in assorted worsted weight yarns.
Instructions:
Start with dark pink yarn; CH 26.
DC in 4th ch from hook; DC to end of row. (24 DC)
Ch 2, turn. DC in 2nd DC; DC to end of row. (24 DC)
*ch-2 at beginning of row counts as first DC)
Work in dark pink for 16 rows, or 8 inches.
Change to gold. Work 11 rows, or 6 inches.
Change to dark green. Work 2 rows of DCs (this is the first row of avocado).
Change to white. Work about 13 rows, or 7 inches.
Change back to dark green. Work 2 rows (this is the second row of avocado).
Change back to white. Work about 64 rows, or 36 inches.
Change to black. Work enough rows to completely encircle your roll. Finish off.
Extra Notes:
When changing colors, CH 2 then DC in 1st DC, then DC to end. (24 DC)
Stop and count your DC’s frequently to ensure you have 24 so your project will not begin to look like a “pyramid” if you're skipping a row... or to ensure it's not growing if you're making too many DC's per row.
When finishing off one yarn, cut the yarn leaving a tail several inches long; pull yarn end through the last loop then pull taught to secure end. Turn your work. Now you can simply weave over it when you begin your next color.
