Free Crochet Pattern – Swizzle Alpaca Ribbed Scarf

I use this pattern by Prague Loop over and over. This scarf was made with our 100% Alpaca Swizzle Yarn, which has been discontinued since I first wrote this post. Any DK or worsted weight yarn would work with this pattern, and it took just one skein of yarn for a scarf that measured 60″ long by 5.5″ wide. Take a look at our Astral Yarn, our Paca Paints Yarn, our Classic Alpaca Yarn, and our Espiral Yarn. All would work wonderfully with this pattern. The scarf is worked lengthwise, back and forth in rows, and gauge is not important. Super easy one row scarf, very suitable for beginners.

Kathy Lashley of Elk Studios Crafted Crochet Designs designed this pretty shawl pattern that she calls Dixie Charm – A Summer Shawl. I’m changing the name a bit and calling it Dixie Alpaca Charm Shawl, because I used alpaca yarn of course! I’ve made two so far, the first one was out of our Paca Paints Yarn, a hand-painted 100% alpaca yarn, by The Alpaca Yarn Company, a color called Wisteria Way.

This Jessica Scarflette crochet pattern is by Jessica Dassing of Chick-a-Pea Studio. Any weight yarn will work using the appropriate hook, as there is no fit to this scarflette.

I use this pattern by Prague Loop over and over. It is easy, mindless and quick, especially with a bulky yarn and a large hook. Any yarn could be used and any size hook.

This scarf is worked lengthwise, back and forth in rows, and gauge is not important. Super easy one row scarf, very suitable for beginners.
