Single Crochet Sashay Scarf

Sashay Scarves are very easy to make and there are many different ways to make them, you can knit or crochet them and the yarn is very forgiving that's what makes it so fun and easy. This style is one of the harder styles I've learned but all you need to know is how to do a single crochet. (This video is the one I learned off of.There are two methods there I used the second one for this and it starts at about 14:00. To learn how to start a Sashay Scarf check out my how to post for it here.

(This is what Sashay yarn looks like in a ball)

Place your hook into the first loop, skip a loop and pick up the next one. Do this process again, skip one and pick up the next one. (Remember to work from yourself outwards to pick up each stitch). At this point you should have three stitches on your hook. In the video, this is the point where she slips two of the stitches off. For me I skipped and picked up one more loop and pulled it through the three loops before. It doesn't matter which you choose to do just remember how many loops you pick up. You will want to repeat this process 4-6 times. Personally, I did it five times because I thought that was a good number to work with. Again, it doesn't matter how many you do, just remember how many you did.

Once you are done you should be left with stitches. I did five so I have five stitches. Like a normal crocheting project, you will find the stitches at the top of your work, and the last one will be hard to find at times depending on how tight you crochet. It is there though so try to crochet it. The sashay yarn is very forgiving so if you miss it it is not a big deal but you will have one stitch less. 

From this point it is very basic single crochet, you work your hook through the stitch, skip one loop pick up the next loop and pull it through. You need to continue that for each stitch. Once you have done the last stitch you need to skip one loop and pull the next loop through the loop on your hook. This is like chaining on your crochet piece to start the next row. As you go the stitches should become easier to find. 

Once you get it the length you like, this all depends on what style you choose to wear the scarf in, there are a few ways to finish it off. Check out my How To post on Sashay Scarfs to see the different options to finishing this scarf.  Depending on how long you make this scarf, you may have enough yarn to make a second one from the same ball.
