Tiny Hexagons Scarf...

 

This so pretty scarf is made with what appears to be several strands of lace weight yarn held together and changing colors in every row.

In my version, fingering weight, self striping yarn is used... that way we hope that the hexagons won't have the same colors without having to change in every row, which allow us to not to have to use lots of balls in different colors and weave tons of ends...

The yarn I'm using is Mini Mochi from Crystal Palace... A Slow Striping fingering weight, single ply yarn, 80% Merino Wool-20% Nylon, 195 yds/50g ball, in a pretty color that I think is called Rainbow Trout. The hook is a D or E.

I made the first hexagons in a class and blocked them after that... it made a huge difference and I think is the way it should be done:::

However, I thought about all the sewing that would be needed at the end with so many hexagons, so I decided to join as I go...

Every time I get to a corner I join with another(s) hexagon(s). I'm planning on making half of the skein in single hexis and then join them with the rest as I go. This so I can play a little bit with the colors and mix them in a fun way and not necesarily as they come out of the ball.

Here's the pattern I'm using:::

Multi-hexagon Crochet Scarf

Hexagon Pattern:
Ch 3, sl st to make a ring.
Rnd 1: ch 4 (counts as first dc + 1 ch), (dc in the ring, ch 1) 5 times, sl st on 3rd ch (6 dc + 6 ch-1 sps)
Rnd 2: ch 3, dc in same st, (2dc, ch 1) in each ch-1 sp, sl st in first dc (12 dc)
Rnd 3: ch 3, dc in same st, *(2dc, ch1, 2dc) in ch-1 sp, 2dc in next dc* repeat from * all the way around, sl st in first dc.  Fasten off

Half Hexagon Pattern: (use for side panels)
Ch 3, sl st to make a ring.
Rnd 1: ch 3, 5 dc into ring (6 dc)... Do not join to close the round.
Rnd 2: ch 3, turn, (2dc in next dc, ch 1) twice, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in next dc (8 dc and 2 ch-1 sp)
Rnd 3: ch 3, turn, dc in same st, [2 dc in next dc, (2dc, ch1, 2 dc) in ch-1 sp] twice; 2 dc in each of next 2 dc.  Fasten off


You would need 3 full hexagons and 1 half for each scarf row. And about 120 full and 40 halfs for the whole scarf.

Let me know if you make one! I'd love to see a picture!
See you soon!
