Scarf of the Month Crochet Along
I designed this scarf for the 2022 Scarf of the Month CAL. This year-long event is hosted by Rhondda from Oombawka Designs and Amy from The Stitchin Mommy. Follow along for 3 new scarf patterns every month! The other two patterns this month are the Easy Crochet Pocket Scoodie by Rhondda and the Dara Infinity Scarf by Amy.

Rhondda and Amy also run a Hat of the Month CAL. It works the same way as the scarves, and I was the guest designer for October for that CAL as well. Get the Clustered Columns Hat pattern, and make a matching set!

Special Stitches
Cluster (cl): (Yo, insert hook in indicated sp, pull up a loop, yo, pull through 2 loops on hook) 4 times, yo and pull through all 5 loops on hook, ch 1 to close.
Chainless starting double crochet (csdc): Pull up a loop slightly taller than the height of a double crochet. Holding the top of the loop in place on your hook, wrap your hook around the loop counterclockwise. This wrap acts as a yarn over. Insert your hook into the first stitch and pull up a loop. [Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook] twice.
The csdc counts as a dc in the stitch counts at the end of the row. See this csdc tutorial for a closer look.
Instructions
If you prefer not to use the csdc stitch, you can replace “Csdc” with “Ch 3 (counts as dc)” wherever it appears throughout the pattern. You can replace “Csdc, ch 1” with “Ch 4 (counts as dc and ch 1)” wherever it appears.
