It’s time to introduce you to the Six Thirty Scarf! This Tunisian crochet mini scarf pattern is the ideal for those that want a quick and easy one skein (stashbuster!) project AND the beginner Tunisian crocheter. Dive into your stash for a skein of DK weight yarn and get ready to sit back and cruise through this pattern with the help of a full video tutorial included in the pattern PDF.
Before we dive in to all the details about this pattern, I’d love to share the inspiration with you! Last year, my favorite book that I read was Lessons in Chemistry. They also made this into a TV series on Apple TV which I loved just as much as the book! When Sewrella Yarn announced a library themed yarn collection earlier this year, I was thrilled. They announced a yarn called “Supper at Six” which was inspired by the book Lessons in Chemistry. Absolutely perfect. Now the question was… what to make?
Once I got the yarn, it didn’t take me long to decide I needed to design something new. Something that would challenge me to learn new skills (in Tunisian crochet) but also serve as a quick satisfaction project that would boost my confidence. Lessons in Chemistry is full of inspiring characters, from the main character Elizabeth, to her daughter Mad, and the neighbor Harriet, I just loved them all. There was another very special character, which was the dog, who was named Six Thirty. Do you see where this is going? 🙂
The Six Thirty Scarf was made to be that special companion. The one that guides you along through learning new things, and not surprisingly – becomes your best friend. It’s just the Tunisian crochet project I needed to expand my skills and build my confidence, and it has become that go-to accessory that I can toss in my bag to wear anytime.

Perfect for Beginners and Beyond
The SIx Thirty Scarf includes a step-by-step video tutorial, making this the perfect project for beginners. The video tutorial is available exclusively in the PDF pattern, and will walk you through everything from choosing your hook, making a slip knot, how to begin your project, the Tunisian Simple Stitch, how to increase and decrease, working the border, weaving in your ends, and additional helpful hints along the way.
This exclusive video tutorial is meant to feel like you have someone right there with you to walk you through each step of the pattern. This quick and satisfying project combined with the comprehensive video tutorial makes this pattern perfect for the absolute beginner and a fun project for Tunisian crocheters of all levels.
Let’s Talk Yarn!
This quick little project is the perfect one skein stashbuster project! You’ll need about 130 yds (55g) of a DK weight yarn for this project, so perfect for any partial or miscellaneous skeins you have tucked away in your yarn stash.
I used Sewrella Yarn‘s Cashmere DK base in the colorway “Supper at Six” for this design. This pattern works up beautifully in solid colors or variegated yarns like some of my testers used in the photos below. Any DK weight yarn should work for this project, and it’s a flexible enough pattern that worsted weight yarnwould work up lovely too! Grab a fun new color, or dive into your stash to find just the right yarn for your Six Thirty Scarf.

Crochet Hook & Other Supplies
The Six Thirty Scarf pattern uses a I/9 5.5mm crochet hook or the hook size needed to get gauge as listed in the pattern. You can use any straight (not ergonomic) crochet hook, and won’t need a cord for this Tunisian crochet project.
You’ll also need some blocking supplies – I used these blocking mats and pins, but feel free to use what you have! Be sure to have a few stitch markers, scissors and a tapestry needle on hand for finishing at the end of your crochet project.

Why You Should Block Your Project
I highly recommend wet blocking your finished scarf! Blocking helps curb any of the infamous Tunisian crochet curl and gives your finished piece beautiful drape.
What is blocking?
Blocking is an easy process to help shape your final project and make it look finished! I recommend wet blocking for this pattern, which is where you will completely submerge your finished project in cold water, gently wring out excess water, and lay it flat to dry.
These blocking mats and pins have made this process so much easier for me, so I can pin my projects to the exact shape or dimensions I need!
