Alright. I’ve never written up a crochet pattern before so I’m open to constructive criticism. 
This pattern has also NOT been tested by anyone else so crochet at your own risk. If you do make this pattern, let me know! I’d love to see it! I still want to take pictures of some of the stitches and different points of the scarf, but the lighting this weekend was horrible. Expect updates to this. I’ll add modification dates as necessary. Also, I’m open to other scarf names.

Catherine’s Diamond Pattern:
- Chain a multiple of 8 stitches + 1
- Setup Row: Ch 1. *Sc in ch, sk 3 chs, 9 dcs in next ch, skip 3 chs*; repeat from * to * across, ending with sc in last ch. Turn.
- Row 1: Ch 2. Dc5tog over [sc and 4 dcs], *ch 3, sc in next dc, ch3, dc9tog over [4 dcs, sc, 4 dcs]*; repeat from * to * across, ending with dc5tog, skip tch. Turn.

- Row 4: Ch 1. *Sc in sc, skip ch3, 9 dcs in dc9tog, skip ch3*; repeat from * to * across, ending with sc in sc, skip tch. Turn.
Scarf:
- Ch 33
- Work Catherine’s Diamond Pattern to desired scarf length.
- Ending with a Row 4 will create border on short edge. Do not turn at end of last Row 4. You will be continuing in a circle around scarf to create border.
- Work border on other three sides of scarf. *9 dcs in center of half circle, sc in sc* repeat from * to * along long side, short side and final long side. The corners will have only one sc in them.
- Cut end, pull through last loop and weave in. Wash and block as desired.
I MIGHT at some point take some pictures of me crocheting the Catherine’s Wheel stitch but it’s not a priority right now. Instead I made a “quick and dirty” chart of the first three rows of the stitch. Hopefully this helps with visualizing the stitch a little. And hopefully this doesn’t confuse anyone worse!

I love this so much that I’m using it to make a 12inch square over on Ravelry. Thanks for posting this loveliness and congrats on the pattern designing

Are you supposed to close the 9DCtog and the 5DCtog with a single chain – Then chain 3? Maybe the very slight pucker is inherent in the pattern? When I added the chain to close the large groups – the scarf didn’t pucker as much. Any thoughts?

hey i really really love your pattern and i’m trying so hard to make this scarf but i don’t understand the instructions, specifically this part:
” Ch 2. Dc5tog over [sc and 4 dcs], *ch 3, sc in next dc, ch3, dc9tog over [4 dcs, sc, 4 dcs]*; ”
which is basically row 1. i don’t understand where you do which stitches and what the stitches in the brackets mean. is that where u put the stitches that precede? or is that what u want the dc5tog to be… ie. dc5tog is really 1 sc and 4 dc and not 5 dc all in the same ch… sorry if it’s extensive, i just think this pattern is genius and really want to do it.

I am a bit confused about that also. I love the look of this and would love to be able to understand a bit better! Is there another way to state how the dc are done?

Since this designer has quit the site for awhile, I thought I’d try to help with what the directions look like they are saying to me.
When the pattern says ds5tg in these stiches. It means to start a dc in each of the stitches in between that area & then wrap the yarn over & pull thru all the loops, so you end up with 5 stitches becoming one on the next row. To do that you wrap the yarn & pull thru the 1st st, wrap in again & pull thru 2 sts & then left the resulting 2 sts on the hook, lefting them on the hook go to the next st & do the same until you have done that in all five sts, then wrap the yarn around all 6 sts now on your hook & pull thru all 5 at once.
When you do a muliple st like this in the above row you put it into the 1 st that resulted from combining all those sts. This is a way of drawing several stitches tog to create a something that looks like a puff.
Good luck!
