One-Skein Maze Scarf

Here is a quick, one skein scarf that looks complicated but is really quite easy.  To me the pattern looks like a garden maze, but the yarn I used also looks like Maize corn.  So I guess it could really be called a Maze, Maize scarf.

Materials:

• Loops and Threads (Michaels Store Brand) Impeccable, Gensing 1 skein
• H Hook (5 mm)

Gauge:

Gauge is not really important for this pattern, but if you want to be sure to use only one skein of yarn,

8 scs = 2 inches

6 FPDC rows (not stretched out) = 2 inches

Abbreviations:

ch(s)--chain(s)              sc(s)--single crochet(s)

dc--double crochet       FPDC--front post double crochet

Special Stitches

FPDC--Front Post Double Crochet, go to this page for a how-to.

Pattern:

Ch 22.

Row 1:  Sc in second ch from hook (I did my foundation row in the back nub of the ch) and in each ch to the end (21 scs.) Turn.

Front of Chain

Insert hook into the nub.  It helps if you chain loosely

bottom

Top.  See how they both look the same, it gives it a more finished look.

Row 2:  Ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), sk one sc, dc in next sc, *ch 1, sk sc, dc in next sc* 9 times (11 dcs and 10 ch-1 sps). Turn.

Row 3:  Ch 4 (counts as dc, ch 1), FPDC in second dc of previous row *ch 1, FPDC in next dc of previous row*8 times, ch 1, FPDC over top of turning ch. (11 dcs and 10 ch-1 sps). Turn.

Rows 4-7: Repeat Row 3.

Row 8: Ch 1, sc in first dc, *sc in ch-1 sp, sc in FPDC* 9, sc in last ch-1 sp, sc in top of turning ch. (21 scs). Turn.

sc in first dc

sc in ch-1 sp

Row 9:  Ch 3, sk 1st and second scs, sc in next sc, *ch 3, sk 2 scs, sc in next sc* 6 times. (7 ch-3 sps, 7 scs). Turn.

Rows 10: Ch 3, sc in second sc, *ch 3, sc in next sc* 5 times, ch 3, sc in first ch of beginning ch-3 sp. (7 ch-3 sps, 7 scs). Turn.

sc in first ch of beginning ch-3 sp

Rows 11-14:  Repeat Row 10.

Row 15:  Ch 1, sc in first sc, 2 scs in ch-3 sp, *sc in sc, 2 scs in ch-3 sp* 6 times,  (21 scs). Turn.

Now go back and repeat from Row 2 to Row 15 until you have used up most of your yarn.  I ended my scarf on a Row 8 so that it looks the same on both ends.  I was able to repeat the full pattern (from beginning to end) 9 times, and then added Rows 2 to 8 at the end.  Weave in ends.

This pattern makes a medium adult size hat.  If you would like to make the hat bigger, place the hat on your head as you are doing the increase rows, if it's not near your forehead yet, add more increase rows until it does (next row 7 dcs and 2 increases, then 8 dcs and 2 increases, etc).  You can also add more regular rows to make the hat longer if you need to.  If you would like to make it for a child stop increasing at Rnd 7 and jump to Rnd 9 and do a Rnd 10 then change to the Coffee Rnd 12.  If you want to make it for a baby, stop increasing at Rnd 6 and jump to Rnd 9 and do  Rnd 10 before going to the Coffee Rnds. Don't switch to the G Hook, continue with the H Hook. For the Bobble round, follow the directions until you get around the brim of the hat, but it won't be as many repeats. You can also shorten the horns, if desired, by stopping at round 9 with the Buff yarn and changing to the Coffee yarn for rnds 10 to 13.

Horns

Using the Buff yarn and the G Hook I used this pattern from MyGurumi.  The horn is done in a spiral, so you may have to use a stitch marker to keep track of where you are.  She uses a little bit different abbreviations in her pattern.

Greenbutterfli over at Ravelry told me she had trouble with the link to this pattern.
MyGurumi uses the Magazine format, which is hard to read.  You can click on the drop down button on the left for the classic view, but then it goes to her most recent post, but if you type horn in the search box the pattern will come up and it's readable. 

Check out Greenbutterfli's hilarious version of the Viking Helmet here.

m2--2 scs in same sc

m2x2--2 scs in same sc two times
sc4 (etc)-sc in next 4 sts, or the number next to the sc

I also just used a regular magic circle in the beginning. Instead of finishing the last sc, I added in the Coffee yarn and did four more rows in the following manner:

                       
                            

Rnd 18: sc9, m2 x2, sc9, sc2tog

Rnd 19: sc9, m2, sc12

Rnd 20: sc10, m2 x2, sc10, sc2tog

Rnd 21: sc10, m2, sc13, Fasten Off leaving a tail about 10 inches long.  You will use this to sew the horn together and then to attach it to the hat. Make 2.

Curl the coffee rows back towards the front of the horn and sew down to the edge where the coffee rows started using tail,

                                 

                                 

then stuff with polyfil and sew onto hat between FPDC rows.

Braids

Wrap Mango yarn around your forearm, from thumb to elbow about 40 to 50 times,  enough to make two fairly thick braids.

Cut the yarn at both ends to make straight strands.  Separate yarn into to two hanks.  Tie one end of one hank with a short piece of Mango yarn, then braid and tie opposite end with a short piece of Coffee yarn.  Trim ends to make them even and then sew the ends tied with the Mango yarn under the hat directly beneath the horns.  If you would rather have a beard check out this cool pattern by Melissa Campbell.

If you want to make braids and a beard you can make them removable by sewing buttons on the inside of the helmet where you want to attach them and then sewing crocheted loops onto the braids and beard.
