Fantail Shell Stitch infinity Scarf / Cowl | free easy pattern tutorial

[@Barb-Arden]

I just started this scarf and I love it! I found the chart on your blog-thanks so much for providing the chart!! It’s so much easier for me to follow a pattern when there’s a chart. Saves me from having to make one. ❤️

[@JodieAndWillow]

I made mine 130cm long. I'd think 130 to 150cm is a good length. That's around 66 shell rows using a medium 4 yarn with 6.5mm hook. It took about 300 metres/ 250g of Lion Brand Landscape yarn (blue lagoon). It's so beautiful and a mother's day gift for my mum. She loved it. Thank you so much for creating this video!

[@JodieAndWillow]

130cm is a snug fit doubled over

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, thank you! This was so lovely to read and I’m glad your mum loved the gift.😃

[@tamra.coulter-realtor]

Thank you for making that fun and easy. Row two starts at 12:12

[@LadyMordhaus]

Thank you so much for your clear instructions!!! I was lost until I found you. Now I want to make all your projects.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Awwh, you’re so welcome!😃🧶

This was so much fun to make! Thank you so much. Your cat was a beautiful bonus🐾😁

[@Tanacarroll]

I just placed an order for this yarn and received it about two weeks ago. I absolutely love it and it has become my fav yarn of all time topping RH Unforgettable. This yarn is prettier and less expensive than Unforgettable. I’m fixing to place another order. I live in the US and shipping was very reasonable. You won’t regret this purchase. It’s less than $3USD per skein. Now I have a new pattern to use my new yarn with. This is exactly the pattern I was looking for for Christmas scarfs for family. Thanks! 💗🧶☀️

[@tiramisucocolands7952]

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial and the gloves one!!!!! The fact that you explained how we should start the next row after the 5th one made it much easier to follow. I tried a similar pattern once and it ended up being very wonky because they didn't explain how we should go after the 5th row.

[@kathleenschilling9365]

I so appreciated having the diagram to follow! You don't see it that often and yet it is so much easier to use, IMHO! Thank you for your clear instructions. I practiced with some cheap inferior yarn until the Boho Spirit arrived from the UK. Can't wait to get started!

[@haleroma719]

Robin I’ve just learned how to do a hex granny and then I saw your scarf and I sat watched it first and then I did the pattern along with you and I am over the moon because I kept up with you. So now I am going to follow your pattern and continue with row 2. You explain It very clearly. This by far is the most adventurous project I’ve taken on. Thank you.😂👍💕🇺🇸

[@marthaprack7810]

Thank you for the gorgeous scarf. I made one for my daughter in law, she put it on and wore it all evening while visiting.☺

Thank you! I will now have my cup of tea and a biscuit. Love your video. Easy to follow and great stitch pattern.

[@TheWirdbird]

Love this stitch, but I have yet to be able to remember what I am doing. I guess I will spend hours listening to your instructions. :-) I also made a nice scarf for my step-daughter using the feather stitch that I learned from you. She loved the texture and was impressed. Thank you for helping me impress my step-daughter.

[@JustAnotherBuckyLover]

That yarn looks almost metallic, like rose gold, as you were starting off. So gorgeous!

This is a lovely infinity scarf 🧣 and tour tutorials are good I would have liked to have seen another round of the four repeat rows as I got very confused but I managed it in the end. I have had to stop as I don’t know how to finish.

[@HookedbyRobin]

hey Heather - did you figure it out in the end? xx (sorry for the delay, I missed your comment!)

[@lark2023]

Hey Robin❣️You are such a great teacher!! I slowed the speed to 75% and I was able to CAL with you, no problem 😉 I wanted to ask you if you ever use Red Heart Unforgettable yarn, because it is giving me such a difficult time. It’s rather fiddly, which is a shame because the yarn is so beautiful but my stitches aren’t symmetrical. I am up to the 5th row and my work just looks a mess. Twice I have had to frog, which didn’t work and I had to cut off the first 4 rows TWICE…. Very frustrating. It says 4 medium weight, but I think it’s roving, getting very thin then down the way getting all thick and puffy. I think 💭 I am about ready to pull my hair out. But, I love your tutorials so much, have made many projects with you. So, thank you so much. You are a gem❣️🫶🏼✌🏼🤩

Yes, you'd just need to chain the size you wanted, making sure your multiples are the same as Robin says at the start.

I had the same issues but the colors are so magnificent, I decided to suck it up. I used the Suzette Stitch and it looks absolutely amazing. Now using the same yarn (different color) and using the Sieve Stitch and it is coming up a treat. Thank you Robin !!!

I’ve now made five pairs of the Fantail Shell Fingerless Gloves - one to my classroom LSA who couldn’t believe they were handmade! - and am now onto crocheting this scarf for myself. When it comes to stitching the ends of the scarf together, should I end on a row with the HDC then sew the ends together with a needle, or is there a crochet stitch I should use to attach the ends together that you could recommend?

@@jacquicleijne9525 you might just get away with it but it might come out a little shorter - or you may find you have to play a little yarn chicken! Those hook size suggestions sound find - I don't think it'll be too bulky but making a small sample sounds like a sensible plan! X

Hi Robin! Thank you so much, this is such a great tutorial - so clear. I loved your kitty 'helper' too!! What row did you finish on when you joined your scarf to make an infinity scarf - I'm not sure which row will join best with the starting row. Also, did you use a double crochet join? Many thanks for your help :) xx

[@HookedbyRobin]

Katherine Harding Hiya! I ended on a non shell row - so one of the v stitch set up rows - I eyeballed it so didn't note down which row unfortunately! I sewed them together with a bog standard whip stitch - you don't really notice the join at all so I don't think it matters massively where you end - I can send a pic if that helps?
