The Delphine Scarf with Sleeves crochet pattern by Ashlea Schumaker is a cool twist on a classic piece. This unique design mixes the warmth of a cozy scarf with the handy feature of fitted sleeves. It’s perfect for those in between seasons. It’s both useful and stylish, making it a great addition to your wardrobe.
What Skill Level Do I Need for This Pattern?
This sleeved scarf crochet pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters and those who want to try something new. If you’re already good with the basic stitches and want to learn the star stitch, this pattern is just right for you. Even though the design needs some careful work, the instructions are written clearly.
Materials and Tools Required for the Pattern
To make this crochet wrap, you’ll need some DK yarn, such as Brava Recycle. It comes in muted and speckled shades that give the final piece depth. Pick a solid color for a classic look, or go with a mixed-color option for something more lively and surprising.
You’ll also need a size 5 mm crochet hook – great for creating that cozy texture. Basic tools like scissors, a yarn needle, and optional stitch markers will help keep your work tidy and organized.
Guide to Crocheting the Delphine Scarf with Sleeves
The Delphine Scarf with Sleeves is about 60 inches long (not counting the cuffs), but you can change the length by adding or cutting rows in the middle.
Start with the star stitch for the main part of the scarf, giving it a soft, textured look. It combines chains and linked half double crochets, forming the pattern’s signature look.
When you’re done with the scarf, crochet cuffs at both ends using single and double crochet stitches. These cuffs fit snugly around your wrists, making the design both stylish and useful.
Styling Ideas for Your Finished Scarf
To put your scarf on, first, put one arm through the first sleeve. Then, wrap the scarf around your body once and a half times. Finally, place your other arm through the opposite sleeve. This wrapping method gives you a snug and comfy fit that stays in place.
Want more ways to wear it? You can also use it as a regular scarf by leaving the sleeves unworn. Match it with a tight dress for a trendy layered look, or throw it over your favorite sweater for extra warmth on those in-between days.
