Supersized See My Stitches Scarf
Supersized Side View
One of the first patterns I favorited on Ravelry was Lorraine Hern’s Bionic Wrap Scarf (pattern available on Ravelry and My PDF Patterns). Well… when I was about to pay for the pattern, I realized you needed two needles and not a hook to make this scarf. It was a knit pattern, so much for that idea. Over the months, I’ve continued to love the oversized stitch look and have been drawn back to this scarf time and time again.
The Bionic Wrap Scarf was the inspiration behind my crocheted Supersized See My Stitches Scarf which I had a blast making and LOVE wearing. I have decided this is my favorite scarf and I want to make a zillion more. It’s very simple and a lot of fun.
Supersized See My Stitches Scarf Closeup
Materials:
2 skeins Charisma by Loops & Threads (218 yards Bulky weight yarn, a fun bright multi color yarn is highly recommended, uses exactly all the yarn)
16mm crochet hook
Abbreviations (US terms used):
Ch = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
FHDC = Foundation Half Double Crochet
BLO = Back Loops Only
Supersized See My Stitches Scarf Pattern:
Hold 2 strands of yarn together throughout the entire pattern.
Leave a 6.5″-7″ tail when starting, this will become part of the fringe.
Row 1: Ch 2, 95 FHDC (super easy alternative: you can Ch 97, then 95 HDC if you are afraid of FHDC, but I really recommend FHDC)
Row 2: Ch 2, HDC in BLO
Row 3-4: repeat Row 2
Finish off leaving a 6.5″-7″ tail.
Then add the fringe.
Fringe:
Cut 18 13” strands.
Incorporate starting and ending ends of the scarf into the fringe so you don’t have to weave them in.
Thread 4 sets of 2 strands on the side with the ends and 5 sets of 2 strands on the other end of the scarf, push the loop in, then bring all the loops together and pull all the ends through at one time so it makes one big knot and one big fringe on each end.
Fringe Step 1: Pull Up Loops
Fringe Step 1: Another view
Fringe Step 2: Get all loops together
Fringe Step 3: Pull all loops through at the same time
Fringe Step 4: Pull tight
Final Fringe
Uses EXACTLY all the yarn.
It’s a party of color.

Love the style and colors… Very nice!

Thank you! I loved it so much when I was making it, I knew I wanted to make a blanket just like it as soon as I finished. Just made the blanket Saturday and it’s super cozy and bright.
May 19, 2011 @ 22:03:19
Love your scarf, especially the fringe technique! Great colors too!
Aug 24, 2011 @ 02:43:25
Hi! How does this particular yarn feel against your skin? Is it scratchy or soft?
Thanks!
Heather

VERY soft.
It doesn’t wear that well. I made the blanket like the scarf and it started getting fuzzy pretty quickly BUT everyone still loves the blanket because it is SO soft.
Oct 17, 2011 @ 15:21:00
I ended up having to do the ch 97 w/ 95 hdc becuz i couldn’t find anywhere how to do a fhdc. but it turned out beautiful! I absolutley love it and get so many compliments at work!
Oct 17, 2011 @ 18:46:37
I’m glad to hear it!
The FHDC is the same as FSC – foundation single crochet, but with the extra yarn over before you start the stitch
It looks like there’s a You Tube video on it here
Do you have any pictures posted? I’d love to see them. What yarn did you use?.
Nov 01, 2015 @ 10:55:32
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this free pattern!! I had two skeins of Charisma sitting around; I just had to get a Q hook. I watched the FHDC video and worked until I figured it out. I ONLY want to do that now.
Nov 07, 2011 @ 20:13:06
I downloaded your pattern and was able to do this in 1 afternoon while @ work. Love it. I also made 3 more last Sunday for all of my kids. Even my boys love their scarf. Thanks
Nov 07, 2011 @ 20:20:37
I’m so glad you liked it!
I love the yarn you used. Your scarf looks great and the yarn texture made a really fun fringe. (I’m a big fringe fan)
Now that it’s getting cold, I think I need to make some more myself.
Nov 28, 2011 @ 23:34:01
this pattern is exactly what i am looking for! i just bought a bunch of the charisma yarn and found your site looking for a pattern. thanks for making me learn something new :] fhdc is quite bizarre but i like it. very excited for all these scarves i’m making as presents! one question, do you know about how wide it turns out to be?
Dec 01, 2011 @ 00:07:55
I’m glad you like the pattern.
I found it was painful to learn the foundation stitches, but it definitely pays off once you figure it out.
The scarf is 4.5″ wide x 96″ long (not including the tassels).
They do make great gifts. They’re super soft and you can make them really fast.

Was so so so disappointed to get to the last 2 stitches and completely run out of yarn. I was able to figure out a way to use scrap yarn to finish it up without anybody being able to tell, but when you said the pattern would use all the yarn I was not expecting to need more than 2 skeins. I think it looks great with my last minute modification though. Thank you for sharing your pattern.
Dec 20, 2011 @ 03:23:10
I’m so sorry to hear you ran out of yarn. How tightly you’re crocheting can effect how much yarn is used. I’m glad you were able to figure out a workaround.
Recently, when I was just a little short on another project, I took out several of the last stitches and redid them intentionally crocheting tighter and had enough yarn.
Mar 24, 2012 @ 21:56:27
is ur scarf done with a needle if so which one.
Mar 25, 2012 @ 13:12:40
It’s made with a 16mm crochet hook.
Aug 05, 2012 @ 23:13:31
What size is 16mm in letters? I know a size “K” hook is 6.50 mm, so I’m guessing 16 mm is huge…
Aug 06, 2012 @ 20:13:05
It’s a Q hook.
Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:35:22
I definitely ran out of yarn right before my 4th row. Sad!. But I love it!
Dec 17, 2012 @ 21:28:14
Oh no! I hope you were still able to make it work. Did you just do 3 rows?
Dec 19, 2012 @ 13:22:48
no, i just bought more, and finished it out! 🙂 It’s wonderful!
Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:39:05
This looks awesome! And I love any pattern that promotes the use of foundations stitches. 😀 I included a link to this page for a pattern roundup on my blog this morning! http://www.mooglyblog.com/quick-crochet-with-a-q-hook/
Dec 18, 2012 @ 19:56:57
Thank you. Looks like a great list. I LOVE the Snowflake Rug.
Dec 23, 2012 @ 18:31:59
I Love the Super-sized see my stitches scarf pattern!!! Thanks!!! I found the link to your pattern on Moogly’s facebook page.
I saw a scarf kind of like this last year, and thought “I could make this” so I didnt buy it! of course I never found the pattern until now! I am on my fourth scarf 🙂
Thanks!!
Dec 23, 2012 @ 20:27:06
Wow, your fourth! You’ve been busy.
Jan 08, 2013 @ 10:48:33
Thanks so much for sharing this – can’t wait to start!
Jan 08, 2013 @ 16:59:06
Replying to myself here just to say that this scarf is beautiful and such a pleasure to make. Love 🙂
Feb 19, 2013 @ 09:32:46
I, too, ran out of yarn nearly to the end of the scarf. I could probably undo and redo stitches to make it to the end but I still wouldn’t have enough for the fringe, which is my favorite part! It’s a beautiful scarf, though. Think I’ll rip out stitches and start over and make it a little shorter this time.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 06:48:09
Is there a way I can actually download this pattern to my computer in PD F format? It looks so easy to do.
Feb 21, 2013 @ 07:04:55
Hi Laura,
I don’t have PDFs uploaded of any of the patterns, but if you can print to PDF, you can print the post to PDF.
Mar 22, 2013 @ 03:48:02
I love the colors! I will have to go by the craft store tomorrow so I can try out this pattern 🙂
May 26, 2013 @ 01:02:37
What were the final measurements of this scarf when it was completed?
Oct 19, 2013 @ 18:00:45
I needed some instant gratification and a break from a hairpin lace project. This scarf was perfect! I used Deborah Norville Serenity in “Kitty”. I have to tell you that scarves normally feel like they’re choking me…don’t know why it never dawned on me that maybe they were too wide for my liking. The size of your Supersized See My Stiches Scarf are perfect. I can let it hang, drape loosely, or wrap multiple times for warmth. I did a 2HDCtog, chain, turn and 2HDCtog at both ends so the scarf would taper down and then I added one big tassel at each end. (single strand of yarn 15X wrapped the length of a DVD case) I crochet loosely, so I started with 85 FHDC and used exactly 202 yards and my scarf width is about 5 inches and the length is about 7 feet (length measurement is just scarf, not tassels).
Thank you so much for posting this, I’m off to search my stash for more chunky yarn!!
Oct 19, 2013 @ 19:09:19
I’m so glad it worked out so well for you. Have fun with your next one.
Oct 30, 2013 @ 09:17:20
I’m so glad to find this pattern. I love big hooks and it’s hard to find patterns for them. Love the scarf in the Q hook, took very little time and looks great. I’m going to try it now using my 25mm and 50mm hooks. I’ve got a large stash to play with so I can try different color and texture combinations.
Jan 08, 2015 @ 14:01:39
What is the color of this yarn? Where did you purchase it? I found this brand, but haven’t seen the color. Love it!
Jan 08, 2015 @ 18:56:37
Hi Jessica,
The color is Sunny Day. It’s Loops & Threads Charisma which is a Michael’s brand. I bought it from Michael’s in NY in 2011 but believe it is still an active color.
Jan 13, 2015 @ 03:49:59
This is such a gratifying project for the beginning hooker! I was, er, hooked! The first scarf (Charisma “Toadstool”) motivated me to learn the foundation stitch for the second scarf. For the second scarf, I mixed two different Charisma yarns with similar colorways (“Northern Lights” with “Mulberry,”) and was happy with the enriched tone. I also ran out of yarn for the last few stitches for the first scarf, and just worked solid color yarn. Lesson learned. It still gets me lots of compliments whenever I wear it. As you have mentioned, it is a very soft yarn, but it does start to get fuzzy, darn it.
Jan 13, 2015 @ 14:20:31
I’m glad it got you to learn the foundation stitch. It makes a big difference. Yes Charisma is soft and cheap and doesn’t have the longest life span.
Jan 14, 2015 @ 02:28:07
Thank you for sharing your pattern and tutorial with all of us.
Jan 14, 2015 @ 06:11:56
You’re welcome
Oct 14, 2015 @ 12:44:02
Hi!
This pattern is awesome and will make great gifts!
Quick question though, can I use super bulky yarn instead? Do you think it’ll look as good?
Thanks!
Jen
Oct 29, 2015 @ 13:59:17
Thanks for the pattern. The FHDC was very tricky but the rest came together quickly. It was my first time using a Q hook as well as working with two yarns at once. Will definitely make more!
Jan 23, 2016 @ 22:54:34
Thank you I made one. It was great since I am snowed in!!!
Apr 18, 2016 @ 20:59:21
Happy to hear it worked out for you. It is a great project when you’re snowed in.
Dec 11, 2019 @ 11:26:00
Hi! Sorry for the silly question, I’m still quite new at this. Does the turning chain count as a stitch? The scarf is so amazing. Thank you for sharing the pattern, I can’t wait to finish it!
Dec 12, 2019 @ 09:48:18
Hi Gina, yes it does count as a stitch. I’m glad you like the pattern. Happy crocheting!
