BRRR! I don't know where you are at in the world, but here where I am, it is getting COLD! And I'm not talking about light jacket weather. I am talking about dress-in-layers, run-from-car-to-building, why-did-people-settle-this-land COLD!
Hello, THN Makers! Sarah from A Plush Pineapple here, and it's great to be back sharing another pattern with all of you! Since these frigid temperatures are rapidly approaching, I decided to design a good cozy scarf that I can wrap around my neck and face to keep out the brisk wind. The Pineapple Crown Scarf has a tubular construction so that it provides an extra layer of warmth. I also developed a unique cabling design that is reminiscent of pineapples in order to stay true to my summer-lovin' roots. You can also choose to finish the scarf with a pom on each end or seam it up to create an infinity loop scarf!
I had the opportunity to design this scarf with The Hook Nook Small Stuff in the color Foggy Morning. It is a wonderful DK weight that provides just the right amount of drape and sheen for this project. It is very soft and enjoyable to work with. With all of the colors that this line of yarn comes in, I think it would also be fabulous to color block sections of the scarf. Hmmm, now I might just have to make another one!
You can find the yarn bundle that includes all the yarn needed for this project on the THN website.
I hope that you will enjoy making this scarf as much as I enjoyed designing it. For me, it's my go-to scarf as I'm running out the door each day to face the freezing weather. There's nothing that keeps you warm like being wrapped up in handmade goodness!

Row 23-33: Repeat Rows 7-17.
Rows 34-37: Repeat Row 2.
Length should measure about 61” (155 cm).
Leaving approximately a 75” (190.5 cm) tail, fasten off. Weave in all ends on the inside of the scarf. (Leave the beginning tail and ending tail for seaming and finishing.)
Seaming
Lay the scarf wrong side up. Fold the outside edges toward the center to meet in the middle. Thread the long tail onto your tapestry needle. Use the mattress stitch to seam the scarf into a tube. Be sure to line up the rows as you go.
Finishing
When you reach the end of the tube, use a basting stitch to weave the remaining tail through the top of each stitch around the opening. Pull tight to cinch the end closed. Weave the tail through opposite sides of the opening several times to secure. Do not cut yarn.
Thread the beginning tail onto your tapestry needle and repeat this process for the other end.
Using the remaining tails, attach a faux fur pompom to each end.
Weave in all remaining ends.
