Calidi Scarf – FREE Tunisian Crochet Pattern

The Yarn

---

To crochet this scarf I used Lion Brand Color Made Easy.

It’s a 100 % Acrylic yarn with yarn weight Bulky. What I love the most about this yarn is all the color options. For this scarf I picked the color “Shade”, but it wasn’t easy to pick a favorite.

If  you liked their discontinued yarn Woolspun, this has a similar feel.

A GREAT LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS GIFT CROCHET PROJECT

---

What I love especially about this scarf is the fact that it works up super quick. If I have to guess, I’d say 1-4 hours, depending on how fast you crochet.

That also makes it a great last minute crocheted Christmas gift.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?

---

How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

• Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
• Make a swatch that measure at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.

Stitches You Will Need

FOUNDATION SINGLE CROCHET STITCH (FSC):

Written description:

Step 1: Ch 2 st.

Step 2: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop. Yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.

Step 3: Insert hook into previous “chain” you made (It should look like you go through a resemblance of a “normal” st, with 2 strands of yarn), pull up a loop, yo and pull through first loop (making “chain”). Yo and pull through both loops on hook.

Repeat step 3 until you’ve made enough stitches. *2nd ch in step 1 makes 1 st, step 2 makes 1 st & every time step 3 is repeated you make 1 st.
