These scrappy scarves aren't everyone's cup of tea. Mr Goldfish is really not a fan. He hasn't gone so far as to say that he hates them... but I can tell that he does! He can't cope with the unfinished look of the loose ends. As for me... I think they're FUN
And if you love the idea of a scrappy scarf, but would prefer to knit... click here to see the knitted version.
Instructions:
These scarves are just as easy as they look! They're made using my crazy yarn and an 8.0mm crochet hook. Work a row of chain stitches, the length you want the scarf to be. Then work a row of dc. At the end of each row, join in a new colour, leaving a tail which will become the tassel (just tie a firm knot to join) Then continue working in rows of dc, working between the posts (rather than into the top of the stitches) When you are happy with the width of the scarf... you are finished! Just trim the tassels, if desired.

Below is a neck warmer. Made the same way as the scarf, just shorter... and worn with a pin to hold it in place. I think I worked this one on a 10.00mm hook, but it's a bit too 'gappy' for my liking. If I was to make another one, I would go down to a smaller size.
So there they are, my scrappy scarves... not exactly elegant... but then again, neither am I!

I love the scrappy scarf!!! It has character :-)
I love the colors. I am learning so many new things. I have 5 balls of crazy yarn now. Thank you Purple for the wonderful ideas.
Poor Mr Goldfish, lol. The scarf looks very funky, I must have a go.
And I love your crazy yarn, I just don't have enough bits yet to try my own.
You are right about needing a scarf just for everyday running about. My beaded scarf sits on a shelf most of the time until I am dressed well enough to suit it. Most days I need something that would go with well-worn jeans ! Excellent concept !

I actually bought a scarf like this (I couldn't resist, it was only $4), but I was thinking I should make some scrappy scarves of my own to use up all the leftover bits I've accumulated. I hate crochet, though-- perhaps this could be done on extra-large knitting needles?
caroline - I am working on a knitted one at the moment... should have some photos to show you next week
I, for one, love the scrappy scarf. :D
somewhatvoluble - what wonderful taste you have ;)

I love this scarf! I pretty much only crochet scarves and I always make sure I have leftover yarn to make a scrappy something. So far the only scrappy thing I have made was a small blankie for Sadie the cat. I am sooo going to do a scarf now!
sadekat - a scarf will be easy, after doing a blanket... enjoy!
