New Yarns
Now that all the Red Heart yarns have moved into their new home at Yarnspirations.com, I wanted to create something special that would bring two of their yarns together! And I couldn't wait to give Caron X Pantone Bamboo a try!
A great combo
Combined with Red Heart Soft, the Caron X Pantone Bamboo adds fun pops of color and texture with a smooth silky sheen. I really love the way these two yarns mix together!

SPECIAL STITCH:
CSDC/dc2tog – Make a CSDC in the first st but stop with 2 loops left on the hook, yo, insert hook in next st, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through 2 loops, yo and pull through all remaining loops on hook.
Notes:
Wind each ball of the Caron X Pantone Bamboo braid into separate balls, and label them 1-5 from darkest to lightest or in the preferred order. See how to separate and wind the balls here. These colors will be referred to in the pattern as Color B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5.
If you prefer not to use the CSDC stitch, you can substitute a ch 3 or whatever dc substitute you prefer.

I can’t wait to make this using yarns from my stashbusting pile. 😀
Tamara Kelly says
I'm so glad you like it, thank you!
Anika Hickok says
The pattern is lovely, but I think there might be a mistake between the pattern and the photo. For Row 11, it says to repeat row 9 which creates an eyelet row, and then repeat row 10 for row 12 which will again be a solid row of dc. Your picture of your scarf does not show this eyelet row in the cream. I believe to reconcile the picture with the photo, Row 11 should repeat row 5 and row 12 should repeat row 4.
Again, pattern is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you so much Anika, I've updated the pattern!
Becki Sue says
In rows 3 & 5, where you CSDC and then 2 dc in the first stitch, are you doing the 2 dc in the same stitch as the Improved CSDC? Or the actual first stitch of the row? Thanks!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Becki! The CSDC and 2 dc are all worked into the first st of the row - so all 3 sts in one stitch. 🙂 There is a video tutorial linked above as well!
Kirsty O'Neill says
so if im correct there should be seven cream rows inbetween the others? im a little confused but i may have it
Tamara Kelly says
Yes, sounds like you've got it! 🙂
