In this video I share how to make a bohemian style crochet scarf using a beautiful designer scarf as a guide. Please note, this is not an exact replica of the scarf, I am just using it for inspiration to help you see how to design your own as well as share some fun stitches that you can use for this scarf or for other sampler style projects. There are a lot of components so this is the first of a series. I'll add links to the companion videos once they are published HERE: Part 2 Part 3 Here is a link to yarn weights and the different way they are referenced: Scarf measures approx. 10 x 70 inches Hook & Yarn : To obtain gauge, I'd recommend using a Worsted (weight 4) yarn with a 4 mm hook I'm using a 100% cotton yarn by Hobby Lobby called “I love this cotton yarn“. Colors: Parchment (for the Neutral) Aqua Buttercup Pink Stonewash Blue Serena Spa Coral Rosey II I also have Deep Teal and Sage that I'll probably include later but not sure yet. If you don't have a hobby lobby near you, I'd also recommend: Comfy Worsted by KnitPicks with a 4mm hook. This yarn is slightly thinner so your squares might come out about 1/4“ smaller but it's supposed to be in the same weight category (4) You can see what it looks like in this video: I'd recommend you use your favorite yarn. If you want it to look like the reference photo, I'd recommend using a merino wool or blend. In this video we'll be making the granny squares for the scarf. There are approx 16 (not including the specialty squares that we'll cover in Pt. 2) 8 Basic Grannies 5 Mitered Grannies 2 Mini Grannies 1 Big Granny Time Stamps: 00:00 Intro 00:35 Measurements, Hook & Yarn 02:10 Basic Square (foundation for all the squares) 09:24 Mitered Granny Square 12:30 Adding Additional Sides Explained 16:16 Mini Square 16:27 Big Granny Square 21:24 Final Words
