Arrow Cable Scarf


I wanted to crochet my dad a scarf for his birthday. He likes scarves but is very particular about them. He likes them long and wide. Searching for a pattern to suit my father was a bit difficult so in the end I just made one up and he loved it.

This pattern is worked in long rows to better determine the width of the scarf. 10" wide 104" long and it works up quite quickly.

Here is the pattern, if there are any mistakes just let me know. It took a while for me to get the pattern up do to trying to get it written down right.

Hook: K/10.5/6.5mm
Yarn: Worsted, 4 weight 12.2 oz 600-650 yds

Key:

Terms:
Blo: Back loops only.
Yo: Yarn over
St: stitch

Basic stiches:
Ch: Chain
SC: single crochet
DC: Double crochet

Special Stitches:
Lx: 1/2 dc left cross
Rx: 2/1 dc right cross

Special stitch explanation:

Lx: Skip 1 sc, yarn over and dc in next two sc's, with hook in front of the first two sts, go back to skipped sc and dc into it. Don't make the diagonal dc too tight and make sure that it crosses in front of the two straight dc's.
Rx: Skip 2 sc, dc in 3rd dc, go back to first skipped sc, with the hook behind the first stitch, dc into the skipped sc, then repeat for the 2nd skipped sc, making sure the diagonal is in front of the two straight dc's.

Foundation Row: Ch 281

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and sc in each ch across (280 stitches), turn

Rows 2-4: Ch 1, sc in blo of every sc all the way across, turn

Row 5: Ch 2, skip first st from 2ch, Lx all the way across, dc in last st of row, turn.

Row 6: Ch 1, sc in both loops of every st all the way across.

Row 7: Ch 2, skip first st from 2ch, Rx all the way across, dc in last st of row, turn.

Rows 8-10: Repeat Rows 2-4

Row 11: Ch 2, skip first st from 2ch, *Rx, then Lx, and repeat from * until end of row and dc in last stitch of row, turn

Row 12: Ch 2, skip first st from 2ch, *Lx, then Rx, and repeat from * until end of row and dc in last stitch of row, turn

Rows 19-21: Repeat Rows 2-4

Finish: Sc all the way around scarf if preferred.

Notes: If there are any questions or confusions don’t hesitate to ask and I will try to get back as soon as possible.
---Note Edit: If you're coming from Ravelry and find difficulty with the pattern, comment here or message me on Ravelry. It'll notify me of it much faster than if I'm checking the sticky notes on the pattern page, which I didn't know existed until recently.
