1 BURGER Scarf This burger scarf is an essential accessory for all your favorite burger-lovers! You ll crochet each burger with two buns, a patty, tomato slice, onion, cheese, and lettuce. There s a lot of sewing and detail in this project, but the final outcome is worth the work. Super-beginners may find this scarf a bit overwhelming, so I would suggest being fairly familiar with basic crocheting before tackling this meal! xoxo,

G6/4.0mm and H8/5.00mm crochet hooks tapestry needle scissors Gauge With H hook: 14 sc x 16 rows = 4 in. x 4 in. Finished Size Each burger approx. 5 ¼ in. wide and 5 in. tall. Full scarf approx. 5 ¼ in. wide and x 75 in. long. Abbreviations in U.S. terms ch(s): chain(s) dc: double crochet RS: right side sc: single crochet sk: skip st(s): stitch(es) tr: triple crochet WS: wrong side ( ): work everything in the parentheses into the next stitch Burger (Buns and Patty) (Make 15) - With Tan, pull out an 18-inch yarn tail first. You will use this later to sew two hamburgers together. With H hook, ch 11. Row 1: (RS) Sk 1st ch and work 10 sc evenly across. [10] Row 2: Ch 1, turn. (2 sc), 8 sc, (2 sc). [12] Row 3: Ch 1, turn. (2 sc), (2 sc), 8 sc, (2 sc), (2 sc). [16] Rows 4-9: Ch 1, turn. Sc evenly across. [16] - Break off Tan. Pull out a 24-inch yarn tail of Brown. Join Brown. Rows 10-14: Ch 1, turn. Sc evenly across. [17] - Break off Brown leaving about 24 inches of yarn. Join Tan. Rows 15-18: Ch 1, turn. Sc evenly across. [17] - Work an sc border around the burger using both colors [Photo1]. Note the chart below for a helpful visual [Fig 1]). When you switch colors, make sure to switch on the last pull-through of the previous st. Also, once you switch, tug on the end of the previous color to really tighten up the sl st. You want the sl sts to be tight and small to create indentations between the burger and bun layers. There will be spots where the Tan will be visible on the WS, since sl st work doesn't really hide a carried yarn, so 2
just make sure the carried Tan is not loose. You also have an opportunity to weave a bit over the visible Tan when you weave in ends later. 3 - Continue working with Tan. Rnd 1: Work 1 more sc into the same space as your previous st. This will count as the 1st st in the side of your burger. (2 sc) in the next st, sl st in the next st, pull through with the 18-inch strand of Brown. You'll now carry Tan along. Sl st with Brown in the next st, then (2 sc), 1 sc, (2 sc), sl st and pull through with Tan. Drop Brown. Sl st in the next st with Tan, then (2 sc), 2 sc, (2 sc), 1 sc, (2 sc), (2 sc), 1 sc. You should now be at the top of the bun. 10 sc evenly across the top. Then, 1 sc, (2 sc), (2 sc), 1 sc, (2 sc), 2 sc evenly, (2 sc), and in the next st, sl st and pull though with 18- inch Brown. Carry Tan. Sl st in next st, then (2 sc), 1 sc, (2 sc), sl st and pull through with Tan. Drop brown. Sl st in next st with Tan, (sc), then 1 sc in the last st of this edge. Now work along the bottom of the burger bun. (2 sc) in the first sc from Row 19, then 14 sc evenly, (2 sc) in the last st. Sl st to 1st sc of Rnd 1 to join and break off. - Weave in all ends except the 18 in. Tan yarn tail from the beginning of the bun. Cheese (Make 15, or 1 for each burger) - With Yellow and H hook, ch 2. Row 1: (2 sc) in 2 nd ch from hook. (2) Row 2: Ch 1, turn. (2sc) 2 times. (4) Row 3: Ch 3 (also counts as 1 st st), turn. 3 sc, (sc, dc). (6). Rotate Cheese to work a sl st border on the side of your rows. Ch 1, 3 sl st evenly until you hit the corner. Work 2 sl st into the corner. Work 3 more sl st evenly along the edge, and then sl st into the 2 nd ch from the beginning of Row 3. - Break off leaving an 18 in. yarn tail for sewing and weave in other end. - Sew Cheese to the far right side of the burger, on top of the top edge of the patty. You can use whatever stitching you prefer, but I like the look of whipstitching through the back loops of the Cheese. Weave in ends. Tomato (15, or 1 for each burger) - Turn your burger upside down, so you can work the Tomato from the left edge of each burger and toward the center. Insert your H hook and join Red as close to the edge of the burger as possible to maximize space. Your hook should go into the last
row of the top bun and out the first row of the patty. - You ll be working on the burger surface and treating the stitches on the burger as if they are the foundation chain [Photo 2]. Ch 2, sk 2 sts on the burger in the same row that you joined in, then in the same st work (1 tr, [ch 2, 1 tr] 2 times), ch 2, sk 2 spaces, and sl st to next st. Break off leaving 18 in. of yarn to sew the arch of the tomato slice to the scarf. Don t worry about the spokes. Weave in ends. - You should now have 4-5 free sts in the center of the burger. This is where you will work your onion slices with White and G hook. 4 Onion (15, or 1 for each burger) - With each burger upside down, insert H hook and join White as close to the Tomato as possible. I join into the same space as the Tomato. Ch 7, then sl st to the 2nd to last available space next to the cheese. Then sl st to the last space next to the cheese and ch 8 to create the 2nd onion slice [Photo 3]. Turn your burger around so it's right side up again and sl st in the same st where you joined the onion, or the st next to it if there's no more room for your hook. Break off and weave in ends. If you can fit your hook into the same space as the cheese, then you can work in that st and the st before it. - There's no need to sew down the little onion loops. I think it looks cute that they are a bit 3D. Lettuce (15, or 1 for each burger) - The lettuce will go between the patty and the bottom bun on each burger. - With the Bun & Patty facing upright, insert G hook into the top row of the bottom bun and come out the bottom row of the patty, all on the far right side of the burger. Join Green. [Photo 4] Row 1: Ch 5, sk 1 st, sl st in next st. Repeat all the way across the burger, until you sl st into the last st. I got eight ch 5's total. If you have an extra space, just work another ch 5 and sl st. That part will look a bit squishier, but it s not a big deal. - Weave in ends.
5 Assembly - To sew 2 burgers together, you'll use the long tail from the top bun of one burger to sew it to the bottom bun of another burger. After threading the yarn tail onto your needle, you may need to weave your yarn back a stitch or two to get it in the right place before sewing. Whipstitch 13 stitches together as pictured below [Fig 2]. If you re good at eye-balling and centering and sewing, you don t have to follow any certain chart while sewing pieces together, but I find a chart helpful myself. Make two strands of burgers one strand that s 8 burgers long and another that s 7 burgers long. - To join the top buns of your 2 separate strands, join with 13 whip stitches following the stitch placement for the top bun as in Fig 3.
6 - Finish by adding sesame seeds. I cut small seeds out of wool felt and used fabric glue to attach them. You could also glue on white 5mm pom poms, or sew on beads, or use white or beige yarn and sew French knots. Do whatever you like best and have fun!
