About the studio crochet pattern range
I loved making the Studio scoodie and have a bit of a thing for it’s texture.
I felt like I wasn’t finished with that stitch pattern so I decided to add some colour work (I’m a sucker for a stripy scarf) and create a whole range!
Also in the range is the Studio Bun Hat Free Pattern or the downloadable set of 3 beanie patterns for the price of 1.
But today I bring you the studio stripe scarf!

Pattern Notes
Using US terms, The pattern is worked by alternating extended double crochets (edc) and half double crochet (hdc) stitches (see below for stitch explanations) along the length of the scarf, turning at the end and repeating so that the hdc is worked into the top of the edc from the row below and the edc is worked into the top of the hdc.
Turning chains do not count as a stitch throughout.
If you want to make the scarf longer or shorter you can add or remove stitches but make sure you have an odd number.
I would recommend checking after row 2 that your alternation of stitches is correct. It’s important this is right because it sets up the rest of the project. After this row you will be able to see from the stitch shape whether you should be working an hdc or edc.
Materials
Crochet hook
You’ll need a 5.5mm / I crochet hook or size required to achieve a suitable tension / gauge. I used my clover amour hook.
Yarn Requirements
Approximately 850 yds, 350g of medium worsted weight yarn in two colours, referred to as A and B
In the item pictured I used about 300g / 700 yards of WI Soft and Smooth Aran yarn in grey (colour B) and about 50g / 150 yards in the teal (colour A)
Yarn substitution
You can use any aran or worsted weight yarn for this project and just adjust the hook size and number of stitches to achieve the size you want.
For this range I chose The Women’s Institute Soft and Smooth Aran yarn from Hobbycraft in teal and grey.
If you use a different yarn weight, you’ll need to adjust the length of your starting chain and number of rows to accommodate your choice.
You can learn about choosing yarn for a crochet project here.
Yarn needle & scissors
Finished size
The scarf pictured measured about 70in long by 9in wide.
You can alter the length by changing the number of stitches in your foundation row (ensuring you make an odd number) and change the width by altering the number of row repeats you crochet.
