Soon after returning from Italy, I began to notice "yarn cakes" everywhere. Honestly, I felt like they were calling to me to make something. I just loved the blocks of bright colors and how they melted into each other. Before I knew it, I bought 3 without the faintest idea of what I would make. Then, I saw the perfect stitch on Pinterest and a scarf was born. Since I didn't come up with this stitch I'll tell you how I constructed the scarf but refer you to the original stitch over at MyPicot (which is perhaps the best site for discovering crochet stitches).

If you've never tried "around the post" crochet stitches, this is the perfect project as it is basically all post stitches. This method is really simple, instead of going into the the top of a double crochet, you go around the post of the stitch.
Materials:
H/8 - 5.00MM Hook
1 skein Lion Brand Mandala or other yarn cake
Method:
Since the fit isn't important for this scarf, the gauge isn't either. If you want a wider/shorter scarf, use a bigger hook and vice versa.
To make this scarf I just followed the chart, provided by MyPicot, exactly. As in, chain 29, 4 double crochets in the 4th chain from the hook and so on. MyPicot also provides a written out pattern accompanied by pictures here.
I ended up with a 64"(163cm) x 4"(10cm) rainbow scarf just in time for August heat!
Keeping the scarf skinny causes it to naturally roll up on itself, which is pretty cool. I love how this turned out and I hope you do too! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
