#DIW2 – Mystery blog hop CAL scarf section 1
It’s finally time to start the Design Improv Workshop (#DIW2) Mystery blog hop scarf CAL! For the rules, social media links, etc, please check out this intro post.
Section 2 will be posted by Mistie Bush of American Crochet on 4/3/15. I will update this link once her post is available.
Remember, there are purposely no recommendations as to yarn and/or hook. We want to see variety! Without further ado, here are my first 5 rows:

Abbreviations used:
- ch = chain
- fsc = foundation single crochet
- sc = single crochet
- dc = double crochet
- cl = cluster (see special stitch)
- sl st = slip stitch
- st(s) = stitch(es)
- sk = skip
- YO = yarn over
Note:
- Both written and charted versions of the pattern are provided – these are the same pattern so please do only one or the other, not both.
- Foundation crochet stitches are recommended, but an alternate option is provided (again, you only need to do one or the other, not both). If you are not familiar with foundation stitches, here’s a great tutorial: Foundation Crochet Stitches by Jessie at Home
Special Stitches:
Cluster (cl):
Worked over 5 stitches as follows:
- YO twice, insert hook into next st, draw up a loop (4 loops on hook)
- (YO, draw through 2 loops on hook) twice (2 loops remaining on hook)
- Sk next st, YO twice, insert hook into next st, draw up a loop (5 loops on hook)
- (YO, draw through 2 loops on hook) twice (3 loops remaining on hook)
- Sk next st, YO twice, insert hook into next st, draw up a loop (6 loops on hook)
- (YO, draw through 2 loops on hook) twice (4 loops remaining on hook)
- YO and draw through all 4 loops on hook, ch 1 to close.
Loop: Sc in top of next cl, ch 6, sl st in sc just worked.
