Free Pattern: Star Scarf

I love this stitch!  What a beautiful texture.  This Star Scarf was a Christmas present for my sister Julie.


Supplies: 1 skein medium weight yarn (I used Vanna’s Choice Linen.  The scarf is a little short, so you may want to get 2 skeins.)
Size 6mm hook (J/10) (Or whatever size is appropriate for the yarn you are using)

Abbreviations:
ch – chain,
hdc – half double crochet,
YO – yarn over

Pattern:

Row 1: Pull up a loop in the second ch from hook and in the following four chs, for a total of 6 loops on the hook.  YO, pull through all 6 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the star.  *Pull up a loop in the center of the star just created, pull up a loop in the last ch used in the previous star, pull up a loop in the next 3 chs, for a total of 6 loops on the hook.  YO, pull through all 6 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the star.* Repeat from * accross.
