Hi everyone! Its Meghan here from Meghan Makes Do, I’m thrilled to be bringing you this month’s CAL. Let’s start the New Year off right with the cozy Huckleberry Scarf!
When I first saw the new Color Made Easy yarn from Lion Brand I knew I had to get my hands on it. Then when I saw they had a color named Huckleberry it felt like fate! This is my second triangle scarf design since I named my first one after my first born, I knew I wanted to name this one after my second. My son’s middle name is Huckleberry so the colorway was absolutely perfect!
This yarn works up beautifully using my furls size K crochet hook. It’s a bulky weight yarn that works up quickly and creates the most amazing textures. The best thing about this scarf is that you can also make it with worsted weight yarn and it’s totally customizable. You can add as many extra rows as you would like to create the size that is perfect for you.

The Huckleberry Scarf was designed with the beginner in mind. Even if you are relatively new to crochet you can create a gorgeous scarf using just some basic crochet stitches. Let’s get started with part one. We will be working rows 1-20. Remember to read through all the notes and take note of the special corner stitch in the pattern. Don’t forget to work in the back loops only starting with row 2!

PART THREE
This week we will be finishing up the body of our scarf. Even though the pattern stops at row 40 you are free to make the scarf even larger by adding more rows if desired. Make sure you end on an even numbered row so you have ch-1 spaces to add your fringe.
Row 31: 2hdc in first st, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 87, corner stitch in ch-2 sp, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 87, 2hdc in last st, ch 2, turn. (182)

Row 34: 2hdc in first st, (ch1, sk1, hdc in next stitch) 48 times, corner stitch in ch-2 sp, (hdc in next st, ch 1, sk 1) 48 times, 2hdc in last st, ch 2, turn. (200)
Row 35: 2hdc in first st, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 99, corner stitch in ch-2 sp, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 99, 2hdc in last st, ch 2, turn. (206)

Row 39: 2hdc in first st, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 111, corner stitch in ch-2 sp, working into each st and ch 1 hdc 111, 2hdc in last st, ch 2, turn. (230)

Fasten off and weave in ends.
Fringe
It’s also fringe week! We are so close to being done with our Huckleberry Scarves! It’s now time to cut and add your fringe.
To add fringe to your scarf you will need to cut at least 162 12” pieces of yarn. This will bring your fringe almost all the way up both sides of the scarf. Feel free to add more if you would like, especially if you added extra rows.
Starting in the front corner, fold two pieces of yarn in half and pull the center through the ch-2 sp in the last row from front to back. Pull ends of yarn through the loop and pull tight.
Add fringe in the same manner to the stitches on either side of the ch-2 space and in each ch-1 sp along either side of the scarf until 18 ch-1 spaces remain on each side.
Wrap scarf around neck and tuck in ends. For added security, you can attach a 1 ½ inch button to the wrong side of the scarf in one corner. Then simply button the ends together under the main section of the scarf to hold in place.
Now go enjoy your beautiful new scarf! Thank you so much for crocheting along with me this month! I had a blast and I hope you enjoyed making a Huckleberry Scarf.
