Shakespeare Scarf - crochet - wavy/ripple/potato chip

After seeing lots of "ripple" and "potato chip" type scarves, I made up my own which looks like an accordion.


Worsted weight and an I hook - LOOSELY chain 180.   Do not crochet too tight; you want long stitches or you will be stuck with needing a 4th round.


Row 1: 1dc in 4th ch from hook.   *2dc in next ch, 1dc in next ch*, repeat from * to * to end.


Row 2: Turn, ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch.   *2dc in next stitch*, repeat from * to * to end.  


Row 3: Turn, ch 3, *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next*, repeat from * to * to end.  


Fasten off, weave in tails, twist scarf onto itself in a spiral stack. 



To wear, expand lengthwise, fold in half, drape around neck, slip 2 ends through the loop created around the neck when folded in half and it looks like a Shakespearean collar when worn.


This can be made in less than 2 hours, if you're fast 😀.
