Here is the finished scarf that I started the other day. This scarf is made up of triangle motifs joined together along one side to make a long strip. This will be for my husband’s granddaughter who lives in the Netherlands. Later I sewed on a crocheted amigurumi to the scarf.
I have written the pattern for the motif below, but I have left out the instructions for joining. There are clues for joining and it is up for the crocheter to figure out how this may be done.
When the crocheter learns how to do this, it becomes easier to employ the join-as-you-go technique with a variety of motifs.
Perhaps there are other ways of joining motifs without breaking the yarn.
Of course, one can sew the motifs together too. But join-as-you-go is more convenient. Happy crocheting!

Joining the next motif:
To make the strip, the triangle motifs are joined along one side while working the last row. Join the motifs via the two ch-8 loops, the single ch-3 loop, and the 5-ch loops along the sides.
Joins are made with slip stitch (i.e, ch 2, sl st in corresponding loop in previous motif, ch 2, sc in working motif, etc).
