Hogwarts Scarf -Beginners

Hi Everyone

So for my first pattern I'm going to make a Hogwarts scarf.
It's very easy and basic, but a must-have for all Potterheads.
And even when you're not all that into Harry Potter, It's still a beautiful scarf.
This is what it's going to look like



















Of course as you can see this is a Hufflepuff scarf (PuffPride!!)
And the colors that I used here were Yellow (color A) and Black (color B)
For the other houses you're going to use:
Deep red (A) and yellow/gold (B) - Gryffindor
Royal blue (A) and grey/silver or bronze (B) - Ravenclaw
Dark green (A) and grey/silver (B) - Slytherin

What will you need?
5mm crochet hook
Yarn 2 colors (color A is your main colors, in the photo it is Yellow) (color B is your accent colors, in the photo it is Black)
Yarn needle
Something hard and flat (like cardboard)
scissors

So the pattern goes like this:
With color A
Chain 40 (or do 40 foundation double crochets)
rows 1-12: 40 double crochet, chain 2, turn
Change to color B
Row 13-14: 40 double crochet, chain 2, Turn
Change to color A
Row 15-16: 40 double crochet, chain 2, turn
Change to color B
Row 17-18: 40 double crochet, chain 2, turn
Change to color A
Repeat from row 1- 18.
Repeat 7 times and do 12 more rows of color A.

Tassels:
Grab your cardboard and make it as big as you want your tassels to be. Mine were about 15 cm.
Wrap your yarn about 10 times around that cardboard, slide it off, and cut it open.
Put a crochet hook trough a hole on the end of the scarf and pull your yarn through that hole (you now have a loop), put the ends of the tassels through that loop and pull on it. You have created a tassel.
Repeat this for other tassels. My tassels went : A B A B A B A B A (on both sides)

If you don't understand anything about what's written here, I also made a video explaining everything.
I'm sorry, it is a really long video but I tried to explain everything even for the people who don't know how to crochet, so I hope you understand.

If you have any questions, leave them below (or on the video) and I will answer them.

Happy crocheting!!!

Welcome to the NerdyCrochetCorner

Hey You, and welcome to my NerdyCrochetCorner!!

This little blog will be about... you guessed it: crocheting!
But not just your old-fashion crochet your grandma does. No I'm going to show you how to make all things nerdy, geeky and fandom related.
You will be seeing things from all kinds of fandoms like Harry Potter, Star Trek, Hunger Games,... and games like Mario, World of Warcraft, Legend of Zelda, Pokémon... and many many more
And I promise you, it won't be just amigurumi's from everything (Not that there is anything wrong with that, it will just be a bit boring after a while). There will be clothing, afghans, bags, beanies, you name it, we'll make it. We are going to push the limits of crochet to make all these things happen.

But before we begin doing that, we need to know the basics, with which I will start (in the next blogs). Because I want us to do this together, from beginning to end. And that means starting with the basics.

Now you're maybe wondering who it is who's going to make all of this happen.
Well mostly me (and I will tell a bit more about myself in a minute) but I want to do it together with you, because it doesn't mean that if I upload a pattern that is will stay with that pattern, it can change, just because I do something a certain way, it doesn't mean it is the right (or only) way. I want to hear feedback from you guys through the comments (and maybe in the future through other channels).

Jup that's me!

So a bit more about myself.
My real name is Joyce, right now I'm 21 years old and I'm Belgian.
But I'm more than that I am someone who loves to crochet, and I'm being doing so for the last 7 years. And now I want to teach other people how to do it.
Why? Because it has really changed my life and I want other people to experience the joys crocheting can bring.

So I hope you got to know me and my blog a bit better and I hope I see you in the future to start our crocheting adventure together.
