Notes

It’s crocheted in the length, so you have to decide about the desired length right before you start. Not difficult, wrap the string of chains made around your neck and decide.
Width of course will be your choice, crochet on, till you decide to call it a day!!
Colour A – Blue
Colour B – Green
Turning ch 1 = 1st sc
Turning ch 3 = 1st dc
Repeats are between * *
IMPORTANT -
1. The beginning string of chs should be as long as you want the scarf to be and loosely done

2. Number of chs should be multiple of 5.

The Pattern

Crochet loosely a long string of chains (in multiple of 5 +1) in Colour A , keeping a 4" long tail in the beginning (this will be part of the fringe ). You may even use a hook a size thicker to crochet the initial string of chains, this would ensure the chs are not too tight. Switch over to the required hook when you start first row.

1st Row – sc in the second ch from hook, sc in each ch till last ch, ch 1 (this is the first sc of the next row), turn.

2nd Row – sc in the next 4 sc, *dc in next 5 sc, sc in next 5 sc* till last sc, fasten off with a 4” tail. Turn.

3rd Row - Join Colour B, keeping a 4” tail.

If the previous row has ended with sc this row will begin with dc and vice versa.
Say the 2nd row has ended with sc:-

Ch 3, dc in next and following 3 sc ( makes your 5 dc in a row), *sc in each of the 5 dc of previous row, dc in each of the 5 sc of the previous row* till last st, fasten off with a 4” tail. Turn.

( In case the previous row had ended with 5 dcs, this row for you would be :-

Ch 1, sc in next dc and following 3 dcs (makes your 5 sc in a row) * dc in each of the 5 sc of previous row, sc in each of the 5 dc of previous row* till last st, fasten off with a 4” tail. Turn.)

4th Row - Join Colour A, keeping a 4” tail.

Repeat 3rd Row.

Repeat 3rd and 4th Rows, till you achieve the desired width.
Do not fasten off . Turn.

Last Row – Ch I , sc in next st and each of the following sts till end. Fasten off with 4” tail.

Add Fringe
Cut 8.5” long strands both in colours A and B. You can mix the colours and add fringe at appropriate gaps at the ends or can make tufts of alternate colours. I did the latter. While adding fringe take in the tails as part of the fringe.
Your Colour Wave Reversible Scarf is ready to be worn!!
