If you thought cables only looked good on knits, Alexandra Halsey’s Twisted Twin Cable Scarf crochet pattern will prove you wrong! This wrap features a bold cabled texture, making the whole design elegant and sophisticated. Its warm, dense fabric is created using the Tunisian crochet technique. This handmade accessory will not only keep you incredibly cozy during the winter season but also look absolutely stunning!
Is This Scarf Suitable for Someone New to Tunisian Crochet?
This scarf pattern will suit intermediate crocheters familiar with the Tunisian Crochet technique. The most challenging part of this project is working the twisted-style cables, which requires some skill and a good understanding of crochet stitches. However, looking at the photos, I have to say that the effort is definitely worth it!
What Type of Hook Do I Need for This Pattern?
For this crochet scarf project, you will need both a Tunisian crochet hook in size J (6.00 mm) and a 4.25 mm regular hook. The Tunisian hook is used to crochet the main part of the wrap, while the other one is needed to work the cable details. These hooks will pair nicely with worsted yarn, such as Furls Wander Acrylic.
Crocheting the Twisted Twin Cable Scarf
You will start with the foundation chain and work Tunisian knit and purl stitches. Add the cable twists on the rows indicated in the pattern. Keep repeating the stitch and cable pattern until the scarf reaches your desired length. Finish by binding off, weaving in the ends, and blocking if you like.
