I am so excited to finally be sharing The Emerson Triangle Scarf pattern with you on the blog today! This was the very first crochet pattern I ever made and it is so special to me that I even named it after my first born. I'm sure if you've been following me on Facebook or Instagram you've seen some pictures, but here are a few more.
This scarf is so warm and cozy. It makes the perfect accessory for the winter season. I wear my grey one all the time and just started working on a white one. I seriously want one in every color!
So without further ado here is the pattern for The Emerson Triangle Scarf.
Materials Needed:
Approx. 700 yards of worsted weight yarn (I used lion brand heartland in Mount Rainier. About 2 and a half skeins)
Size J crochet hook
Tapestry needle
stitch markers (optional)
Gauge: 10 stitches X 7 rows = 3" X 3” square in lemon peel stitch
Abbreviations:
Chain stitch (ch) Single Crochet (sc) Double crochet (dc) Puff Stitch (ps)
Lemon Peel (LP) Increase (inc) Decrease (dec) Skip (sk)
Stitch (st) Yarn Over (yo) Decrease 3 Double crochet (dc3tog)
Lemon Peel: Lemon peel crochet uses two basic crochet stitches to create a unique texture. Alternate between single crochet (sc) and double crochet (dc) all across each row. Chain 1 at the end of each row. Start the next row with the opposite stitch you ended with in the previous row.
Practice the lemon peel stitch by making your gauge swatch.
Ch 11 then sc in second chain from hook, dc, sc, dc, sc, dc, sc, dc, sc, dc, ch1 turn.
Start the next row with a sc into the dc stitch from the previous row. You will see that the dc stitches look like little bumps and the sc stitches look like dips. Always work a dc into a sc and a sc into a dc.

To decrease you will either make a sc decrease or a dc decrease depending on which stitch you should work next. If you make a sc decrease you will start the next row with a dc. If you make a dc decrease you will start the next row with a sc.
