This scarf reminds me of some flowers who have a center that is bursting with color and then the color fades as it reaches the edges of the petals, turning into a soft blush, a little whisper of color.
This short scarf is ideal for gifts and charity projects because it uses very little yarn and works up really fast. It is also relatively easy.

Do You Feel You Have Fallen Into a Hole and Can't Get Out?

Janessa Faux Knitted Blocks Short Scarf

A while back, I made a couple of tutorials on how to knit with a crochet hook and a knitting needle, to be able to use the great variety of available knitting stitches. I have noticed that those tutorials have interested a lot of you, so here is an actual project with blocks made in knitting stitches combined with crochet which you can make after you have practiced knitting with a crochet hook and a knitting needle.

Size- Approx. 44" L x 7" W

More than a pattern, this is an idea that you can tailor to your own personal taste.

Materials-
To begin with, choose three colors that either contrast beautifully or are in harmony together. I chose two shades of blue and red (Red Heart worsted weight yarn Soft Navy, Delft Blue and Hot Red, and you would need about ½ skein of each for this).
Crochet hook size H
Scissors
Blunt needle to weave in ends
1 pair knitting needles size 5 (you will only be using 1 of them)
1” button
Sewing needle
Sewing thread the color of button

How to make the blocks:
With chosen yarn, and leaving a little tail at the beginning, ch 19.
Insert hook in first ch and pull up a loop, insert that loop into a knitting needle and repeat, until you have “hung” all your chains into the knitting needle. This is your casting on process.
Now, to make the knitting stitch:
Please refer to these 2 tutorials to learn how to do this stitch:

http://craftybegonia.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-crochet-with-knitting-needles.html 

http://craftybegonia.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-crochet-with-knitting-needles_09.html

Row 1- Do the knit stitch in every loop on the knitting needle. Turn.
Row 2- Do the Purl stitch in every loop on the knitting needle. Turn.
Continue this way until you have completed 21 rows. Fasten off, weave in all tails.

You need a total of 6 blocks, 3 of each main color.

Once you have made two blocks, you can start joining them right away, even as you continue to make your scarf. To join the blocks, proceed as follows:
Beginning Block-
Row 1- With Delft Blue (or contrasting color of choice,) insert hook into a corner of your first block and pull up loop, work 1 sc in that block and make 1 sc in each stitch across, and then sc all around the block in the same way.
Row 2- ch 3, skip 2 sc, 1 sc in next sc, *ch 3, skip 2 sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep from * around.
Second Block (in contrasting color, in my case, it was Hot Red)-
Row 1- Join Delft Blue (or contrasting yarn of choice) and sc all around.
Row 2- Ch 1, insert the hook into the first loop of Beginning Block, and ch 2, 1 sc in next sc, rep across, until you have completed a series of loops inside the row of loops you had previously made across the joining side of the Beginning Block. You will be repeating this form of joining for every other Block.

Once you have finished and joined 4 blocks, alternating the 2 main colors, you will reach the point in which you need to make a buttonhole.
Buttonhole Strip-
On Left Side of Forming Scarflet, join Delft Blue (or contrasting yarn of your choice):
(Because we want this strip to be as flexible as the blocks, we will be used a stitch that some call the Sweater Stitch)
Row 1- 3 sc in first loop of previous loop row, 1 sc in next sc, *3 sc in next loop, 2 sc in next sc, rep from * across.
Row 2- 1 sc, ch 1, skip 1 sc, 1 sc in next sc, *ch 1, skip 1 sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep across.
Row 3- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 4- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 5- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from *  till you reach the middle of the row, then ch 3, skip 3 stitches and continue the stitch as before until you finish the row.
Row 6- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * until you reach the buttonhole chains, 3 sc in buttonhole, and continue the row as before, Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 7- Work the connecting loop row and you have been doing with all the Bocks. Fasten off, weave in tails.

Make another Block, then work the contrasting color sc row and start the loops row, when you reach the bottom of the Block, begin to connect the loops to the end of the Buttonhole Strip, ch 1, insert hook into the first loop, ch 2, and then make an sc in next stitch of Strip, continue working like that until you complete the row. Fasten off, weave in tail.

Turn the piece around and join Delft Blue to the opposite side of it.
Button Strip-
Row 1- 3 sc in first loop of previous loop row, 1 sc in next sc, *3 sc in next loop, 2 sc in next sc, rep from * across.
Row 2- 1 sc, ch 1, skip 1 sc, 1 sc in next sc, *ch 1, skip 1 sc, 1 sc in next sc, rep across.
Row 3- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 4- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 5- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 6- Ch 1, skip first sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, *skip next sc, 1 sc in next ch 1, ch 1, rep from * across.
Row 7- Work the connecting loop row and you have been doing with all the Blocks. Fasten off, weave in tails.

Make another Block, then work the contrasting color sc row and start the loops row, when you reach the bottom of the Block, begin to connect the loops to the end of the Button Strip, ch 1, insert hook into the first loop, ch 2, and then make an sc in next stitch of Strip, continue working like that until you complete the row. Fasten off, weave in tail.

Loopy Edging-
Join Delft Blue to first chain of first loop of First Block, ch 30, sl st in same ch, sl st in next ch, sl st in next ch, ch 30, sl st in same ch, * sl st in same ch, sl st in next ch, sl st in next ch, ch 30, sl st in same ch, rep from * across. Fasten off, weave in tails.
Repeat Loopy Edging on the opposite side of scarflet. Fasten off, weave in tails.

Thread sewing needle and sew button to correspond with buttonhole. Fasten off.
Done!

Many of you have expressed that you prefer keyhole scarflets. I do too! They stay put once you close them around your neck, they do not have an uncomfortable knot and they don't have to be so long that you seem to drag them around, sticking them where you don't want them. They can also be made in a jiffy, which is always a plus. This pattern is freely shared for personal and charity use. Enjoy!
