URLY BOBBles ScarF
I've been enjoying working with my Curly Shirley patters lately, and then added my Bibbity Bobbity Boo cardi to the mix, so it was time to try combining the two stitches, to see what I could do! And here's the result - a curly, bobbly scarf, which is extra-warm due to being doubled over bobbles along the length.
I've made the scarf relatively short (75cm/29" end to end, excluding curls), but have made a hole near one end to slip the other end through, doing away with the need for length to wrap around.
And now, onto the pattern! Written using US crochet terms (US hdc = UK htr, US dc = UK tr, US sc = UK dc) US - H, 5.00mm hook 50g each of Stylecraft Special DK yarn oColour A: Bluebell oColour B: Lime oColour C: Lipstick Gauge: 7 bobbles x 8 bobble rows = 4" (10cm) - including sc stitches and rows in between bobbles les - thanks to Moogly and Esperanza y Ana Celia Rosa for the video links X BobbleStitch X Foundation Single Crochet (FSC) : Joiner stitch - a joiner between FSC and sc: insert hook into the v-stitch at bottom of the previous FSC, insert hook into sc from previous row (where you'd normally join a sc after a bunch of chains), yo, pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through 2 loops.

Finishing
With wrong sides facing (bobbles facing out), join row 24 to row 1 -I used a slip stitch down the length, but you can use whatever works for you. The two holes you have made in the length of the scarf wi match up - slip stitch around these to join together. Slip one end of the scarf through the hole at the other end, and wrap it around a cute neck for winter.
