Introduction
Halfway Home on Tranquil Trails is a triangular crochet scarf in the style of 6-Day Crochet™. It has a fun and unusual construction and makes a very easy-to-wear bandana, scarf, wrap, or shawl. Infinitely adaptable, use your favorite hand-dyed skeins, color changing yarns, solid colored luxury fibers, or hold yarns together for stunning wearable works of art.
This design is meant to efficiently use up any amount of yarn that you have. The Halfway Home approach means you may not know exactly what size your finished scarf will be. All you need is 230 yards of DK weight yarn to make a bandana scarf, or break out the stash for a statement blanket scarf, and everything in between. This is the perfect pattern to show off those stash yarns you bought without a project in mind.
This pattern is exactly the same stitches as the 6-Day Tranquil Trails Scarf, but it is written to be completely adaptable to different weights and amounts of yarn. Before starting, divide your yarn in half (my Halfway Home patterns are why I always buy two of everything - it’s already divided in half that way!) You can also divide your yarn by weight. Work the Setup Rows and increase section, continuing until you’ve used half of your yarn by weight or yardage. Then begin the decrease section, and finally, complete the edge and border.
