Happy Monday everyone! This patterns is a little more advanced for some of the new crocheters, but I just loved how it turned out so I had to post it first. This week will be filled with a few new posts, some wash cloths, pot holders, and possibly a scarf, all beginner friendly! I am very excited to share these with you!
However, I am obsessed with Lion Brand Mandala yarn. I could probably make about 300 of these scarfs/shawls if I had the yarn for it. This pattern creates a soft, squishy, cozy scarf. I added tassels to one and fell in love with that too. I am still learning on how to write out patterns, so if you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to clear things up.
What you need:
1 Skein of Lion Brand Mandala yarn (I used Unicorn on this one)
Size 6 mm Hook
Tapestry needle (Blunt with larger eye hole for yarn)
Scissors
Stitches Used:
Ch – chain
Slst – slip stitch
DC – Double Crochet
*Shell Stitch* – 3 double crochets together
Chain 4
Slip stitch in first chain to form a circle.
Row 1 – Ch 3, make 2 dc into the ring, ch 2, make 3 dc into the ring. Ch 3 and turn.
Row 2 – Make 2 dc in between the first and second dc on row 1. Skip three dc, make 3 dc ch 2 and 3 dc in the ch 2 space from row 1. Skip three dc, make 3 dc in the space between 3rd and 4th dc in row 1. Ch 3 and turn.
Row 3 – Make 2 dc in the space between 1st and 2nd stitches, skip 2 dc make 3 dc in the space, skip 3 dc, then 3 dc chain 2, 3 dc in the ch 2 space from row 2, skip 3 dc make 3 dc into space, skip 2 dc make 3 dc in space. Ch 3 turn your work.
Row 4- 30 (Or until you are just about done with your skein, if you want to make tassels) – Make 2 dc between 1st and 2nd stitches, shell stitch ((or 3 dc)) in each space until your reach the corner. Corner shell ((or 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc)) in ch two space from previous row. Shell stitch in each space until you reach the last shell, skip 2 dc shell stitch. Ch 3 turn your work.
How to make the tassels:
I am sure there are much better ways to make these tassels, but the way that I did them was I wrapped the yarn loosely around the widest part of my hand about 10-12 times, slid it off my hand, and cut just the bottom of the yarn. I strung the strands of yarn through the corner and pulled them to where they are even on both sides, then tied off the top half with a smaller piece of yarn.
As I said before, this is my first pattern, and I am not sure how smooth it is actually written, but if anything seems wonky or isn’t going right, please leave a comment and I will do my best to figure out how to fix it.
If you do end up making this, use the hashtag #CreatingInTheMitten on Instagram and I will be able to see!
Thank you!

*The easiest way to wash this is to hand wash it, then toss it in the dryer with a few towels or something else to let it bounce off of. You can wash it in the washer, but my agitator in mine tugged on my other one a bit and I would hate for all of your hard work to be ruined*

I feel like my ends are not pointy enough how would i increase the pointz without increasing the front base?

I am not sure what you mean by pointy enough, mine are pretty rounded, which is why I used the tassels =] Maybe if you only do two stitches in the top corners instead of 3?
