Hi Alberta, I don’t remember the exact yarn I used for this scarf since it was a while since I made it. But I do make a ton of things with Caron Simply Soft yarn (one of my favorites). If you find it too tight, you can try using an even larger hook than the one you tried. Or you can even use a 3 ply yarn if you want.

Hi, Thank you so much for posting this pattern. I’m having a problem only with the yarn. I’ve tried 3 different types of yarn and it still comes out to hard. I need to know what type of yarn besides a 4 ply yarn to use. I also had to change my hook size to a F as the D was way too tight. I tried using Baby yarn but, after a few row, the yarn still felt too stiff. Please tell me the brand name of yarn I should be using and also tell me if there is a much solfter yarn that I need to use. I want to my this for my boss for christmas and i’m running out of time. So please let me know as soon as possible. Much appricated. Thank you.

Oh, okay. Thanks for making the corrections, Rachel.
I looked last night and earlier today to see if I missed something in the directions.

When your site was down, I got the cached page, and there was nothing in the directions about front loop only, and in the last comment, it said both loops.

Whew, I thought I was losing my mind.

Thanks again!

Hi Sylvia, you slip stitch in the front loop of the stitch. The front and back of the scarf will not look perfectly the same, but all the black lines on the front of the scarf should be nice and neat.

Hi! I have a question about this piano scarf. I haven’t crocheted in quite a few years (probably 20) and have just started again. I saw this scarf and wanted to make it for a friend for Christmas. Anyway, the question is, when you are doing the slipstitch part that makes the line in between the keys, how do you do that part? Do I put the hook through both loops like a normal stitch and then pull the thread through and pull through the loop? When I do this it seems to make a row of white chain looking loops on the other side and you can’t see much of the black on that side once you then do the next row of white, and then that row of white you can see the black through. I just don’t know if I am doing it right. It is kind of hard to tell from the picture since it is not that up close. My other questions about it were answered by previous questions that were asked. Thanks.

This is such a cute thing to do! I usually hate making scarfs but this will be loads of fun.I already started on it and about one third of the way done.The only part I absolutely hate is putting all those silly leftover yarn pieces in. Its so annoying! But I want to give this to a friend of mine, who loves the piano, on his birthday. Anyway wish me luck.

Psst…… how long did it take you to finish because it seems like its taking forever for me.

What a fantastic idea. I’m always looking for ideas for tha male of the species, something just that little bit different, and this is definitely different.

Thanks Susan! Perhaps you can use the "How to Crochet a Circle" pattern to make a record and use it as an applique.

What can I say? I love it! You are so creative I scares me to think of what you’ll be able to come up with in the next 20 years! Your talent continues to amaze me. I’m going to make this, fingers crossed. Now any suggestions for a son who owns an independent record company? I’ll be darned if I can figure out how to incorporate a record. LOL

You’re the best!
