Thank you to Lion Brand Yarn for providing the yarn for this sample.
Have you used Lion Brand’s Scarfie yarn yet? It is sooo soft and fluffy. My first experience with it was when I designed the Macchiato Slouch and I always knew I’d come back to it again someday. Now there are even more combos to choose from then there were back then, and I am just obsessed with this Mint & Silver! I paired it with Wool-Ease Gray Heather (for the band of the hat, because I wanted to make sure the entire band was one solid color) and it was a perfect match.
I designed this set as a part of Lion Brand’s “12 Days of Christmas” promotion, and knew you guys would be excited to have it available in both adult and child sizes. You can even grab the kit on lionbrand.com, which comes with the pattern and enough yarn to make two sets – one for you and one for your mini-me!
The hat is made up mostly of mini bean stitches, which I love because they give basically the same look as a regular bean stitch but use less yarn.
The finished products are so fluffy and soft! I love fluffy accessories. Besides the obvious fact that they are soft on your skin, they also tend to lay really nicely. This infinity scarf was so easy to style on my model because of its light, airy feel.
Can I also give a shoutout to my models? Because seriously, they rocked this shoot. You’d never know they had just met, like, two and a half minutes before this photo. 🙂

LANDON SLOUCH AND SCARF (ADULT AND CHILD SIZES)
Difficulty: Easy
Hooks: K (6.5mm) and H (5.0mm)
Yarn:
3 skeins of Lion Brand Scarfie in “Mint/Silver” (#826-217)
1 skein of Lion Brand Wool-Ease in “Grey Heather” (#620-151)
Gauge: With larger hook and Scarfie yarn, 4 increase rounds of HDC = 4” diameter. (Begin first round with 10 HDC in a magic circle, then increase each round for a total of 4 rounds.) Use whatever hook size you need to obtain the correct gauge. This guage can be used for all 4 patterns.
You’ll Also Need: Yarn needle, scissors, pom maker (optional)
Abbreviations Used:
MC (magic circle – tutorial here)
ST/STS (stitch/stitches)
SL ST (slip stitch)
SK (skip)
CH (chain)
SC (single crochet)
BLO (back loop only)
MBS (mini bean stitch – see “Special Stitch”)
Special Stitch – Mini Bean Stitch (MBS):
Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through (2 loops on hook), yarn over, insert hook into same stitch, yarn over, pull through (4 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through all 4 loops, chain 1 to close stitch. (Because this stitch creates two sets of top loops, it counts as 2 stitches in final round counts.)
Notes:
(1) Patterns are written in American Standard terms.
(2) Any CH1s at the beginning of rounds do not count as stitches.
(3) All patterns are designed in a continuous spiral for a seamless finished look. Do not join, chain up or turn unless instructed.
(4) For the finished measurements of the hats, height is measured from the bottom of the band to the top of the body, pom not included. Width is measured across the bottom of the body of the hat, at the point where the body and the band meet. (Band of hat is smaller but will stretch to fit.)
(5) The poms on the hats are optional. You will have more than enough yarn left over to make two poms in either Scarfie (shown on the child-size sample) or Wool-Ease (shown on the adult-size sample).
(6) Due to the nature of the ombre yarn used, no two hats or scarves will look the same.

LANDON SCARF (TEEN / ADULT SMALL)
Finished Size: 6.5” wide x 60” around
Yarn: Lion Brand Scarfie (310 yards)
Notes:
(1) For this pattern, use the larger of the two hooks (6.5mm, or whichever one you used to complete your gauge swatch).
(2) Working into the back bump of the starting chain during Round 1 will help to keep the scarf from curling. It is a bit slower than working into one of the top loops, but worth it in the end.
To Begin: CH192. Join with a SL ST, being careful not to twist the chain. (192)
Round 1: CH1. Working in the back bumps of the starting chain, MBS in first ST, SK next ST. (MBS in next ST, SK next ST) around. (192)
Rounds 2-18: (MBS in next ST, SK next ST) around. (192)

Fasten off and weave in all ends.

Yarn: Lion Brand Scarfie (180 yards)
Notes:
(1) For this pattern, use the larger of the two hooks (6.5mm, or whichever one you used to complete your gauge swatch).
(2) Working into the back bump of the starting chain during Round 1 will help to keep the scarf from curling. It is a bit slower than working into one of the top loops, but worth it in the end.
To Begin: CH 148. Join with a SL ST, being careful not to twist the chain. (148)
Round 1: CH1. Working in the back bumps of the starting chain, MBS in first ST, SK next ST. (MBS in next ST, SK next ST) around. (148)

Hi Rebecca…I’ve finished the main body of the hat and it’s gorgeous. Unfortunately Lion Brand wool-ease is not available where I live. Can I do the band with the Scarfie instead and if I do, should I make any adjustments ie size of hook.
I would use a smaller hook, definitely.
I love this hat! The bubble stitches are divine! Big enough to add gorgeous texture, but not so big to make the hat look too puffy. I’ve got a question about the brim, in row 3 it says to sl st in the next two stitches of row 22. Does that mean the sl st in the same stitch row 2 was done on in 22, and then sl st in the next unworked stitch of 22? I hope you understand my question, lol!
I just have to say Rebecca, that I enjoy every single of your pattern designs! I bought the exact yarn colors last night for this set! I was on the Amalia CAL and I’ve made 5 sets so far! One set exactly like yours but the other 4 I used your stitch and went wild! I put a ribbed stitch border on one cowl, double stranded dark red claret and used a 15mm hook and made a long n wide super scarf! Made the hat with just 2 sections of your Amalia stitch as the band and crocheted hdc stitch above! All are sets! Hats, earwarmer, cowl or scarf and boot cuffs! Going to make gloves also! Another I did double strand in dark creme tweed yarn and just made it shorter for the buttoned cowl…found a plaid scarf cheap to wear under buttoned cowl. Talk about a gorgeous and stylish look! I’ll take pics and post them all on the Amalia fb page!!! Just love it! So thanks for sharing your awesom talent and designs! You’re my fav designer!
Oh wow, thank you so much! You warmed my heart this morning!!
Hi Becca…so good to see you Sunday. I love this hat/scarf pattern, made so much prettier by the colors which are amazing. Do you have any version of the hat for infants as my grandson will be born in December? Would love to make a baby blanket in the same colors. Any suggestions for a fast and easy blanket pattern?
Would love to be on your mailing list
Thanks so much
Hi Aunt Debbie! I don’t have a baby version of that hat yet, unfortunately. The yarn does make it so pretty doesn’t it? As far as baby blankets… my current favorite is my Henry’s Baby Blanket (http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/henrys-baby-blanket/) but I don’t know how well it would work with that yarn. Sorry that’s not very helpful! 🙂
Hi! I’m in the process of making the toque as we speak… but I am unsure of my mini beans. Is it better to do them looser with a little height, or more tight? which ends up looking best?
Nevermind. Now that I’ve got a couple more rows done it’s looking better lol
Vecy nice i love tbem.
Very Stylish! Love your patterns. Thank you for sharing!
Just noticed this wasn’t the matching hat to the spring bean cowl and that its a whole new set. lol Still extremely beautiful!
Haha thank you! If you’re looking for a match, the Barista Slouch uses the same yarn weight and almost the same stitch (it uses the Mini Bean Stitch instead of the Bean Stitch but they look virtually the same). http://littlemonkeyscrochet.com/barista-slouch-hat/
I bought this exact yarn a few weeks ago because it was calling my name!! Now I know why 🙂 Thanks for the gorgeous pattern and yes your models did a super job!!
Hi Rebecca! So happy to see your new patterns and very impressed after Henry!!! You are super mom!!!! I have a question on the scarf – are we not joining after each round? Is the MBS considered the main stitch – not the chain 1? Just want to be sure 🙂 Hugs!!!!
Hi Ericka! No, we aren’t joining. It’s worked in a continuous round. I’m not sure what you mean by “main stitch”. 🙂
I’m sorry I wasn’t clear – we MBS in the MBS stitch (not the ch 1)??
Yes. It should naturally happen like that if you’re counting and working in a continuous round.
Hi Rebecca! This is a gorgeous pattern. I was thinking doing it using skeins of separate colors, but if it’s in a continuous round, I’m not sure how I would transition. Do you have any recommendations?
Jessica, I don’t. You’d either have to accept the jagged color changes, or crochet it in joined rounds. Good luck! 🙂
When I do the four increase to 74 stitches I have very frilly piece. Does not look at all like the one you’re measuring for the 4″. Is that fourth row correct or am I doing something wrong? Help!!
You’re doing it right; it should be very frilly. The 4 rounds in the photo are only to check your gauge because that’s easier to do on a flat circle. They are not actually part of the pattern. The frilliness gives it a faux-cinched look at the top 🙂
What beautiful colors on this latest hat/scarf set! I am excited to stop on my way home from work and purchase the yarn!
I absolutely love these patterns and have them printed for making this fall. I can’t wait to purchase the specified yarn, too. Thanks for more inspiration. Hope all is going well with your family.
