{Double Fan Scarf - free pattern}

I've been wanting to use this yarn for a while now, I wanted to see how the colours change in it. I've been looking for a perfect scarf pattern, which I found (well, almost) in a book borrowed from my local library.

I say almost because I've modified it a bit: the yarn that I used in a bit thinner than the one used by the original pattern; in addition, I wanted a bulkier, wider scarf. So I doubled up on the fan column (and made a few small modifications as well).

Yarn used: Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in colour Tidal

Hook used: 5.0 mm

Final dimensions: 23 cm x 160 cm (9" x 63")

PATTERN:

Chain 45.

Foundation row: dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 2, skip 2 ch, * dc in next 3 ch, ch 2, dc in next 3 ch, ch 4, skip 4 ch, (dc+ch3+dc) in next ch, ch 4, skip 4 ch, repeat *, dc in next 3 ch, ch 2, dc in next 3 ch, ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc in last ch, turn.

Row 1: ch 3, dc in first dc, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, *(3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 3, skip next ch-4 space, 7 dc in ch-3 space (foundation of the fan), ch 3, skip next ch-4 space, repeat *, (3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 2, skip next (ch-2 space + dc), dc in top of turning ch, turn.

Row 2: ch 3, dc in first dc, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, *(3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, skip next ch-3 space, (dtr between 2 dc, ch 2) five times, dtr between last 2 dc, skip next 3-ch space, repeat *, (3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 2, skip next (ch-2 space + dc), dc in top of turning ch, turn.

Row 3: ch 3, dc in first dc, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, *(3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, (slip st, ch 2, slip st) five times, repeat *, (3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 2, skip next (ch-2 space+dc), dc in top of turning ch, turn.

Row 4: ch 3, dc in first dc, ch 2, skip next ch-2 space, *(3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 4, skip next 2 ch-2 spaces, (dc+ch 3+dc) in centre ch-2 space, ch 4, skip next 2 ch-2 spaces, repeat *, (3dc+2ch+3dc) in ch-2 space, ch 2, skip next (ch-2 space+dc), dc in top of turning ch, turn.

Repeat Rows 1-4 until desired length is achieved, ending your work with Row 3.

Fasten off. Weave the ends.

Here's the modified diagram for this scarf. NOTE: instead of ch-3 space, I made ch-2 space between the cluster of 3 dc.

To ensure the finished scarf looks nice, I wet it and gently squeezed the water out. Then using lots and lots of pins, I stretched it out on the ironing board and let it dried (because the scarf is much longer than my ironing board, I had to do it in to parts):

Here it is all finished up:
