The Persimmon Flower scarf is made in a new reversible Overlay Mosaic crochet technique, so each side is lovely! Using 2 solid colors of DK weight yarn, the scarf is a joy to crochet and wear! There is no need for an edging on this scarf because of the stitches used. The scarf is crocheted in narrow rows, across the width of the scarf, so you’ll be less likely to lose your place in the pattern and mistakes can be easily corrected! Make your scarf any length you choose by working the 10-row mosaic pattern repeat as many times as desired.

In this scarf, a revolutionary new Mosaic Crochet technique is used called Continuous Overlay Mosaic Crochet (COM), eliminating the tails/ends at the beginning and end of each row! Also introduced in this pattern is a new stitch called an “Anchored double crochet wrong side” (AdcWS). This stitch is what makes the scarf reversible! I call this reversible technique Reversible Continuous Overlay Mosaic Crochet (REV-COM).

To learn this new “reversible” technique, watch my YouTube video.

Photographed model made with Cascade Yarns Cherub DK in #33 Peacock and #09 Aran.

The 5” (12.5 cm) wide x 42” (107 cm) long scarf shown in the photos weighs 101 grams total (approx. 50.5 grams of each color). If you choose to make your scarf with 1 less repeat, for a 5” (12.5 cm) wide x 39 1/2” (100.5 cm) long scarf, you could probably get by with only 1 ball of each color of the same yarn.

If you’re using 2 full balls of the same yarn, you could make a scarf with 3 repeats wide x 21 repeats long, or 7.5” (19 cm) wide x 53” (134.5 cm) long.

If you choose to use a smaller hook or heavier yarn, your yarn amounts may be different than mine.
