How it works – step 1
Crochet a vintage scarf with granny squares:
Zunächst 12 Granny Squares nach der Häkelschrift arbeiten.
Crochet each round in a different color position (see above),
so that there are nice color contrasts
between the rounds.
The finished scarf fits perfectly into any wardrobe.
Step 2
Connect Grannies
- Sew the threads of the squares.
- Crochet all 12 squares together in a line at one edge. To do this, place the squares right sides together and crochet together stitch by stitch with chain stitches. Crochet together.
Tip: Do not crochet too tightly, so that the seam remains flexible.
On the front side, you will see the color of the thread that is
used to crochet together, like a rough rustic embroidery stitch.
Sew the threads. The scarf now has a measurement of about 168 cm/ 66″.

Crochet edges
Now crochet a decorative edge around the entire scarf:
- *1 dc, 1 ch, passing over one st, repeat from *. End with 1 dc in front of one corner.
- Now crochet 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, 1 dc into the corner.
Continue with 1 ch, 1 dc, 1 ch, etc. as just described.

Closing edge
Then crochet a round of dc (choose a ball of matching contrasting color for this).
- Crochet 1 dc in each dc and one each space between dc.
Now the scarf can still be decorated with a pretty finishing edge: now crochet picots / mouse teeth for this:
- *1 dc, 3 ch, slip stitch in foot of dc and crochet a sl st, skip 1 st. From *continue in dc.
Enjoy wearing it!
