Hyperbolic stash buster!

Hmmmmmm...

...sounds like some kind of illness you need medication for!


But no...

...it's one of these instead :-)



(sorry about the lighting in this one!)

..in lovely shades of autumn.

I DO like to have a bit of crochet to do when the evenings start drawing in...

...and when you have as many odd balls of wool as I do...

...one of these easy-peasy hyperbolic scarves are just the ticket.

You can use as many (or as few) colours as you like...

Start with 150 chain; 3 more for a turn; then do 150 trebles (dc in USA I think).
Row 2; ch 3, treble (dc) 6, tr 2 in next tr., tr 6 etc to end.
Row 3; ch 3, tr 5, 2 tr in next tr, tr 5 etc to end.
Row 4; ch 3, 1 tr in each tr to end.
Row 5; ch 3, tr 4, 2 tr in next tr, tr 4 etc to end.
Row 6: ch 3, tr 3, 2 tr in next tr, tr 3 etc to end.
Row 7; ch 3, 1 tr in each tr to end.
Row 8; ch 3, tr 2, 2 tr in next tr, 2 tr etc to end.
Row 9; ch 3, tr 1, 2 tr in next tr, tr 1 etc to end.
Row 10; ch 3, 1 tr in each tr to end.

That's the basic scarf. You can add whatever edging you like.

Get out those hooks!!
