For this design, my goal was to use a beautiful combo of colors in almost equal amounts to allow each of them to really POP! One of my favorite crochet stitches is the granny cluster stitch as it’s super speedy to work up and has such a fun retro look to it. Using any colors of Hue + Me yarn, this “vintage” stitch is instantly modernized for cool, trendy look.
One of the top trends for Fall/Winter 2020 is the blanket scarf. Designers from Givenchy to Chloe featured oversized scarves and literal blankets wrapped around their models on the runway. I’m always up for a Lenny Kravitz style giant scarf to bundle up in, and the Color Pop Super Scarf definitely fits the bill!
Another trend of the season? Volume! Not only is this oversized scarf statement making on its own, but the chunky dramatic fringe really takes it over the top. I’ve always been a huge fan of fringe - doesn’t it just feel like the eyelashes and final touch on a scarf? :)
One of the reasons I love an oversized scarf like this is that there are so many different ways to wear it. Simply drape it over the shoulders to wear it long and lean, wrap it around the neck to really bundle up, or do a little criss cross over the shoulders for an elegant look.
You really can’t go wrong with any color combo in Hue + Me, so this could easily be worked up in any of them and look spectacular. It’s the perfect canvas to playfully show off your favorite shades or match them to school colors or any other inspo you can think of. Can’t decide on a combo?

Notes: Scarf is worked flat in back and forth rows. Turn at the end of each row. The ch 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a stitch. To change color, work the last yarn over of the last stitch of the previous row with the new color. To shorten the length of the scarf, reduce foundation chains by multiples of 3, which will account for one 3-double crochet cluster per multiple. For example, to reduce the length by 10 clusters, reduce the foundation chain by 30.

Fringe:
Cut ninety 14”/35.5cm lengths of A. Use larks head knots to attach groups of three strands to the ends of each row and the corners of the scarf. To do so, fold three lengths in half, insert the crochet hook up through a space at the end of a row, place folded loop around the hook and draw it back down through the space, then use the hook to grab the ends and draw them through the folded loop. Rep this process into the ends of each row and all four corners of the scarf. Trim to desired length.
